This document appears to be a page from a memoir by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, contained within House Oversight files. It details the failure of peace negotiations between Israel and Syria in March 2000, specifically focusing on a meeting in Geneva where President Bill Clinton presented a map to Syrian President Hafez al-Assad. The text recounts Clinton's phone call to Barak reporting Assad's rejection of the proposal due to demands for access to the Sea of Galilee, and Barak's subsequent reflection on the failure with diplomat Dennis Ross.
