Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript (likely by Ehud Barak) included in House Oversight files. It details the political landscape of the 1999 Israeli elections, discussing the fragmentation of the right-wing government, the firing of Yitzhik Mordechai by Netanyahu ('Bibi'), the formation of the Center Party, and the launch of the 'One Israel' campaign alliance. It provides a snapshot of the candidates and the socio-political divisions within Israel at that time.
