Summary
This document appears to be a page (346) from a book or memoir by Ehud Barak (header '/ BARAK / 60'), included in a House Oversight investigation file. The text details Barak's perspective on Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, specifically outlining principles regarding Jerusalem, the West Bank, and refugees, dating to approximately 2000 (52 years after 1948). It describes the political fallout within Israel, including the withdrawal of coalition partners (Shas, NRP, Sharansky) and the threat of a no-confidence vote led by the Likud party and Ariel Sharon.

Sharansky was the first to declare he was leaving [the coalition].
