Event Details

This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript by Ehud Barak (page 117) included in a House Oversight production. It details the strategic disagreements between Barak (then Defense Minister) and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert regarding the timing and tactical execution of a preemptive strike on a Syrian nuclear reactor. Barak argues for a delay to ensure a 'fail-safe plan' that minimizes the risk of all-out war, while noting Olmert's frustration and urgency.
