Summary
This document appears to be page 71 of a memoir or autobiography included in a House Oversight production. It recounts a military anecdote where the narrator (likely a high-ranking Israeli official given the context of 'Meir Amit' and 'General Yoffe') stole jerrycans of gasoline from General Yoffe's jeep to ensure the success of a 'Syrian operation' in the Golan. The narrator describes avoiding court-martial through the protection of Avraham and a 'plea-bargain' promise made to Meir Amit.

Full Extracted Text
Complete text extracted from the document (815 characters)
Despite General Yoffe’s angry protests in the command post, Avraham had told him what he’d told me back at the base: that once an operation like this was underway, only the commander on the spot could make life-or-death decisions. I was “the ramatkal in the field.” But Yoffe had also discovered that his jerrycans of gasoline were missing. He insisted that if and when I returned safely from the Golan, I be handed over to the military police.
I don’t know what I would have told the general if he’d asked me directly whether I broke into his jeep. But in the mix of celebration and relief that the Syrian operation had succeeded, I got away with what amounted to a plea-bargain. I promised both Meir Amit and Avraham – at least one of whom believed me – that it would not happen again.
