Event Details

This document appears to be a page from Ehud Barak's memoir (Chapter 17) contained within House Oversight records. It details Barak's recollection of July 1995, when he was accused by the newspaper Yediot Achronot of abandoning soldiers during the Tze'elim training accident (an operation preparing for Saddam Hussein). Barak describes being in Beijing on a business trip with his brother-in-law Doron Cohen when the story broke, characterizing the accusations as a political ambush and a lie.
