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. And President George W. Bush* became the first U.S. president since the 1948 founding of Israel to make no attempt to address the Middle East situation. 
But since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, this important world situation is rarely discussed in the news unless a grave tragedy occurs. I remember when a possible "two-state solution" was an ongoing discussion.
