Summary
This document appears to be a page from a book manuscript or memoir (likely by Ehud Barak) marked with a House Oversight Bates stamp. It details the political maneuvering within the Israeli Labor Party in late 1996 and early 1997, specifically focusing on Ehud Barak's challenge to Shimon Peres for party leadership. The text describes tense late-night negotiations, the involvement of Peres's wife Sonia who supported Barak's candor, and the eventual agreement to hold an election on June 3.
