This document is page 286 from a book (likely a memoir by a high-ranking official given the context of 'joining the government'), stamped with a House Oversight Bates number. It details a wave of Hamas suicide bombings in Israel in early 1996 intended to disrupt the peace process (Oslo) and influence the election between Shimon Peres and Bibi Netanyahu. The text analyzes the motivations of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, noting their opposition to Arafat and the existence of Israel itself.
