Summary
This document appears to be page 44 of a manuscript or memoir written by Ehud Barak, detailing diplomatic events in late 1999 involving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The text describes Barak's interactions with President Bill Clinton and Yasser Arafat in Oslo during the fourth anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination, including a tense meeting at the American ambassador's residence where Barak warned Arafat about the human cost of failing to achieve peace. The document bears a House Oversight stamp, suggesting it was collected as part of a larger investigation, likely due to Barak's tangential association with the Epstein investigation.
