Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir describing the events surrounding the 1993 Oslo Accords. It details Prime Minister Rabin's anger during negotiations with Warren Christopher, the drafting of the Declaration of Principles, and the famous handshake between Rabin and Arafat hosted by Bill Clinton. The narrator, writing from the perspective of a security official in the 'kirya' (likely Ehud Barak given the context of other Epstein-related files, though not named here), expresses skepticism about the peace deal due to continued violence from Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
