Bill Clinton Says Palestinians Rejected Statehood Deal Offering Gaza and Most of West Bank

Former President Bill Clinton said he exhausted his presidency trying to broker a Palestinian state, claiming a deal that would have granted control of all of Gaza and roughly 97% of the West Bank was ultimately rejected. Speaking about the failed negotiations, Clinton said the offer included major concessions but was turned down by Palestinian leadership, a moment he described as one of the greatest frustrations of his time in office.
