The Narrator (Likely Ehud Barak)

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_011753.jpg

This document appears to be a page (282) from a memoir or book, likely authored by Ehud Barak (given the context of serving as Chief of Staff and then Foreign Minister under Peres). The text details a diplomatic meeting with Yasser Arafat, describing Arafat's physical frailty (shaking hands/Parkinson's) and his elusive negotiation style, which the author compares to Mao Tse-Tung. The narrative covers Arafat's accusations that the author tried to torpedo the Oslo agreements as a general, and notes Arafat's habit of taking notes during meetings to leverage later claims of broken promises. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, suggesting it was produced as part of a congressional investigation, potentially related to Epstein due to Barak's known association, though Epstein is not mentioned in this specific text.
