TV7 Israel: Watchmen Talk – “Man in the Shadows” - Former Mossad Chief Amb. Efraim Halevi - Part 2
In this second conversation with Ambassador Efraim Halevy, former Mossad Chief and the first guest in our Watchmen Talk series, the intelligence and secret diplomacy veteran shares with TV7’s Amir Oren his impressions of the several Israeli Prime Ministers for whom he served; and Jordan’s King Hussein, who befriended the London-born head of Israel’s espionage and special missions agency.
He also shares insight on his unique relations with the CIA, and a Gulf country he first visited 45 years ago to help solve its water problems.
While observing that even the Mossad suffered embarrassing failures along with resounding successes, Amb. Halevy also has firm views on a spy chief’s duties to his political superiors - and his subordinate officers who get into trouble.
