Both Clinton and Barak state that Barak agreed - provisionally of course, since he would have had to sell it to the Knesset. However, Arafat refused and went home and boasted that "he had turned over the table on Clinton."

Secret negotiations have there place, but I wonder if things might have turned out better with more public transparency in this particular case. Might have added some useful pressure as well as honesty.
