This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or memoir by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak (indicated by the header 'BARAK'), included in House Oversight evidence files. The text details the failure of peace negotiations with Yasser Arafat, focusing on two main deal-breakers: the 'right of return' for Palestinian refugees and sovereignty over Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Barak recounts Arafat's denial of the existence of a Jewish temple in Jerusalem, a remark made to President Clinton.
