Bill Clinton: Israel offered Temple Mount to Palestinians in 2000

April 30, 2014:
….Former US president Bill Clinton said Wednesday April 30, 2014 that the Palestinians were offered the Temple Mount at the Camp David Summit in 2000, but the agreement fell through over a sliver of land near the Western Wall.
In
an address at Georgetown University in Washington DC, where he has
agreed to deliver a series of lectures, Clinton spoke on a variety of
domestic issues, while also touching on the foreign policy challenges
his administration had encountered — chiefly, the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict and the 2000 summit he brokered between then-prime minister
Ehud Barak and the late Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat.
Clinton’s remarks revealed that a breakthrough in talks between Israel
and the Palestinians, particularly on the controversial issue of the
division of Jerusalem, was closer at hand in 2000, at the summit he
called a “roaring success,” than previously thought.
Israel,
he said, agreed to hand the Palestinians control of the Temple Mount,
the holiest site in Judaism and the compound where al-Aqsa Mosque is
situated, on the condition that the area around the Western Wall remain
under Israel’s control.
….Arafat
agreed to leave Israel with control over the Western Wall, as well as
over the Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, but insisted on keeping
16 meters, or 50 feet, of land leading up to an entrance to the Western
Wall tunnels under Palestinian control.
Israel
refused, on the grounds that the tunnel granted access to remains of
the Jewish temples. In retrospect, Clinton said, Israel was probably
justified in its refusal, as “if you got in, you could do mayhem to the
ruins of the temples.” ….
It’s
been “thirteen years and counting,” Clinton said, since Arafat urged
him to facilitate a peace agreement with Israel — thirteen years in
which political changes occurred in both Israel and the Palestinian
Authority, and the minutiae of a potential peace deal — including
security arrangements in the West Bank and the division of the Old City
of Jerusalem — were discussed in “excruciating detail” and for the most
part “pretty much agreed on.”
However,
Clinton said, no agreement was reached under his aegis because although
Israel, under Barak, agreed to give up 96 percent of the West Bank, the
Palestinians, under Arafat, “never said yes.”

Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Mat 24:3 And
as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Luk 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
