Summary

This document appears to be a page from a memoir (likely by Ehud Barak, given the biographical details) submitted as evidence in the House Oversight investigation (labeled 011478). It recounts two specific interactions involving Yasser Arafat: a military planning discussion with Ariel Sharon prior to the 1982 Lebanon invasion regarding assassinating Arafat, and a 1995 diplomatic meeting in Barcelona where the author played a Chopin waltz on a piano before speaking with Arafat about peace.
