Document Information

Type: Book draft / memoir excerpt (house oversight committee exhibit)
File Size: 2.48 MB
Summary

This document appears to be a page from Ehud Barak's memoir regarding the collapse of the Camp David Summit in July 2000. It details President Clinton's final attempts to broker a peace deal regarding East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, and Arafat's subsequent rejection of the proposals. The text describes the final closing statements where Clinton and Barak expressed frustration while Arafat offered empty praise. Note: While the prompt asks for Epstein-related documents, this specific page contains no mention of Jeffrey Epstein; it is a diplomatic record marked with a House Oversight stamp.

"“Madam Secretary,” I told Madeleine, “eating more baklava with Arafat isn’t going to help. The situation is simple: he needs to answer whether he views the President’s proposal as a basis for going forward.”"
