That is about it. Israel was committed to a gradual negotiating approach, originally, in order to build confidence. Suddenly, it was willing to give up 95% or more of the disputed points, in the eagerness to make a deal. They stripped the proposal down to as close to their final position as they could, in the hope of making a breakthrough with a big gesture. And Arafat decided he had them by the short hairs.
