Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript by Ehud Barak (indicated by the header), detailing Israeli political events between 1996 and 1997. It offers a critique of Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the Oslo Accords, specifically the opening of the Western Wall tunnel which incited violence, and the subsequent Hebron agreement. The text is stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT,' indicating it was part of a document production for a congressional investigation, likely related to the Epstein probe due to Barak's association.
