Event Details

This document is a proof copy (dated 2014) of a book chapter titled 'The Crooked Course,' bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. The text details diplomatic history in the Middle East, specifically focusing on the UN's role in the withdrawal of Israeli and Syrian forces from Lebanon between 2000 and 2005. It serves as a first-person account (likely by Terje Rød-Larsen, the Special Envoy mentioned) of negotiations with Syrian President Assad leading to the 'Aleppo understanding.'

This document is a single page (xxvi) from a book proof (indicated by 'OUP CORRECTED PROOF' dated 12/9/2014) containing a historical chronology of Middle Eastern geopolitical events between September 2004 and June 2007. The text details UN resolutions, leadership changes in Israel and Palestine, assassinations (Rafic Hariri), and conflicts (Israel-Hezbollah war). The page bears the Bates stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023158', indicating it was part of a document production for the House Oversight Committee, though the content itself does not mention Jeffrey Epstein or his associates.
