Caught in his pants down, Krantz attempts to move the goalposts and
change the subject.

What follows restores Krantz's false charges (which he conveniently
deleted) followed by proof which refutes Krantz (which he also
conveniently deleted) from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Myth and not true, Feel free to cite.

1) Negotiations continued after Camp David at Taba:

From the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs web site:

Israel-Palestinian Negotiations
December 2000/January 2001
Talks were held with Israeli and Palestinian teams in Washington
hosted by President Clinton from December 19-23, 2000. The Israeli
delegation was headed by Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami and Prime
Minister bureau chief Gilad Sher. President Clinton presented a
bridging proposal to the parties.

Following a meeting in Cairo between Foreign Minister Ben-Ami and
Chairman Arafat, marathon talks between Israeli and Palestinian
delegations were held in ***Taba*** from January 21-27, 2001, ending
in a joint statement.

Jerusalem, 28 January 2001
PM Barak: Diplomatic contacts with Palestinians halted until after
election
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Ehud Barak has decided today (Sunday), Jan 28, 2001,
not to continue the diplomatic contacts with Palestinian Authority
Chairman Yasser Arafat and his people until after the elections in
Israel. The security contacts regarding a relaxation on the ground,
the cessation of violence and counter-terrorism - will continue.

The Israeli government continues to adhere to the peace process on the
basis of upholding Israel's vital interests: Palestinian refugees will
have no right of return to the State of Israel; the Prime Minister
will not sign any document that transfers sovereignty over the Temple
Mount to the Palestinians; 80% of the settlers in Judea, Samaria and
Gaza [will be] in settlement blocs under Israeli sovereignty.

Prime Minister Barak announced his decision to Swedish Prime Minister
Goran Persson and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
