Was there ever a time when peace between Palestine and Israel was within reach? Which Israeli Prime Minister came closest to achieving it?

Whichever one was in when FOOTOO Bill Clinton was still in office.

Yitzhak Rabin was Israeli Prime Minister at the time of the Oslo Accords (Oslo I Accord 1993) , while for the Israelis the Accords were signed by the then Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres.

The "Palestinian" Arabs could “upgrade” their autonomous status by concluding a peace treaty with Israel, but they have this “little-difficulty” namely, that they seek the destruction of Israel, want ALL the land of Israel, and the expulsion or murder of all its Jews.
This is clear from their ongoing terrorism, and from what is taught by the Palestinian education system and from the “Palestinian National Charter”.

What have the Palestinian Arabs done since they tricked Israel into the Oslo Accords?

The "Palestinian" Arabs since claim ALL the land of Israel and wish to expel all the Jews, which is clear from what is taught by the Palestinian education system and from the “Palestinian National Charter”.

Palestinian education system practices mind-abuse, teaching: False victim-mentality, hatred of Jews, that Israel does not exist (aka Palestinian false-claim to ALL the land):

The “Palestinian National Charter” seeks the expulsion of the Jewish people from the Jews ancestral homeland of Israel:

If a “Palestinian” Arab terrorist murders an Israeli Jew and the terrorist is imprisoned by Israel, the “Palestinian Authority” aka “Fatah” and the “Palestinian Liberation Organisation” (the P.A. funded by the “European Union” and the U.S.A.), pay a reward-“pension” to the family of the attacker under the "Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund":

The “Palestinian” Arabs cynically whitewash their anti-Jewish hate-war as:
“uprising”, “defence”, “desperation”, “struggle”, “resistance”.

Example from the “Palestinian” Arab on-going anti-Jewish hate-war, where their propaganda typically refers to any consequential security measures as “Israeli-oppression”: 
Israeli Jewish child Hallel Yaffa Ariel murdered for her ethnicity by a Palestinian terrorist:

Palestinian attacks of ethnic-hatred using West Bank roads, upon Israeli Jewish civilians:

I do not believe it is appropriate for me to "judge", so I choose not to answer contributor "RosieG's" penultimate query, but regarding her final query, she can look at the following webpage about former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, 
under the heading "Indictments, trials and criminal convictions":
