Really? I was under the impression that the final boundary negotiations weren't really ever agreed upon before the whole thing blew up. No, the boundary negotiations were agreed on, according to Dennis Ross, and Saeb Erekat, the main Pal negotiator. The Pals got 95% of the WB, all of Gaza, plus some land swaps inside Israel to make up 100% of the acreage of the territories. Arafat blew up the deal over Pal "right of return" to Israel. Barak was willing to do some limited returns (he had already let thousands of Pals in, I don't remember how many), but Arafat insisted on the unlimited right of return of everybody who claimed to be a refugee or the descendent of a refugee. This is a non-starter for Israel.
