Israeli Fortitude

You speak of the "peace" proposals forced upon Israel by some Western power (presumably the US). Didn't Israelis elect Ehud Barak specifically to find a solution? This was long before Arafat walked out and before he started the second intifada. What was it that made Israel decide to give up the fight?
