Event Details

This document appears to be a page from a draft manuscript or memoir by former Israeli Prime Minister/Defense Minister Ehud Barak, stamped with a House Oversight control number. The text details Barak's frustrations with Benjamin Netanyahu's ('Bibi') reluctance to engage in peace initiatives with Palestinians and describes the internal Israeli security cabinet ('Group of Eight') dynamics. It further discusses the strategic threat of a nuclear Iran and the US administration's (Obama via Bob Gates) opposition to Israeli military action against Iran during that period.
