Summary

This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript by Ehud Barak (indicated by the header), produced during a House Oversight investigation (likely related to Epstein, though the text is unrelated). The text details Israeli political history between 2002 and 2005, covering terror attacks, the 2003 election victory of Arik Sharon's Likud party, corruption allegations against Sharon's sons, and the political conflict over the Gaza disengagement plan. It specifically highlights Benjamin Netanyahu's resignation in August 2005 in protest of the withdrawal from Gaza.
