Summary

This document appears to be page 97 of a memoir or historical text, bearing a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_027945). The text is a first-person narrative reflecting on Israeli history, specifically the complacency following a military victory and the subsequent surprise of a new war and terror campaigns. While the author is not named on this specific page, the content aligns with the memoirs of Ehud Barak (former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister), whose financial and personal ties to Jeffrey Epstein have been a subject of scrutiny.

the land, and of controlling the daily lives, however benignly, of the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who lived there. Nor, crucially, did we ponder the limitations of military strength, alone, in addressing these questions. We – and I, too, at the time – were too caught up in a sense of post-war relief, celebration and, as the months of ostensible normalcy in this new Israel, complacency as well.
But within only a few years, we would face a dramatically different series of challenges. First, a campaign of Palestinian terror. Then, another full-scale war, which began with a surprise attack by Arab armies which we had assumed would not dare to fight us again.
