(222,266 posts)President Carter did manage to negotiate a peace treaty between Israel and Eqypt (Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat) and President Clinton attempted to continue Carter's peacemaking efforts, but Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and PLO President Yasser Arafat never came to an agreement - for which Clinton blamed Arafat.
