Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript by Ehud Barak (marked '/ BARAK / 133'), produced as part of a House Oversight investigation. It details a high-level Israeli security meeting involving Barak, Netanyahu ('Bibi'), and Lieberman, where they discussed a potential military strike on Iran. The plan was stalled because Chief of Staff Gaby Ashkenazi refused to sign off on the 'operational viability,' causing Barak significant frustration as he believed the capability existed.
