Whether or not he was solely to blame, a true opportunity for historical compromise was missed at Camp David in August 2000, and he himself acknowledged it a year later. By that time it was too late, as the leadership in both the US and Israel had changed and there was no interest to engage him.
在国际上，他却无法跟上冷战后时代的步伐。不管是不是要由他承担全部责任，但2000年8月错过了戴维营历史和解的真正机会却是无可辩驳的事实，一年后连他自己也承认了这一点。但那时却为时已晚，因为以色列和美国的领导人都已经更替，他们对团结他已经失去了兴趣。
