HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_011728.jpg

In the text, Barak reflects on the end of his premiership, the withdrawal from Lebanon, and the failure of the Camp David peace talks.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028233.jpg

This document is a page (385) from a memoir, likely by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, produced as evidence in a House Oversight investigation (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028233). The text details the political situation in Israel in late November (presumably 2000), discussing the collapse of peace talks with Yasser Arafat, the political pressure from Ariel Sharon and the Likud party, and Barak's internal deliberations regarding early elections and his responsibility for the failure of the Camp David summit. While the document is part of an Epstein-related production (Barak was an associate of Epstein), the content of this specific page is strictly political history regarding the Middle East peace process.
