- Efraim Halevy (born 1934) is a lawyer and an Israeli intelligence expert. He was the ninth director of Mossad and the 4th head of the Israeli National Security Council. Above all, he is remembered for his part in bringing about the peace treaty with Jordan. The special relationship he developed with King Hussein made it possible for Halevy to open Jordan to the awareness that only a peace agreement with Israel would extricate the Hashemite kingdom from the crisis after the Gulf War. Halevy was born in the United Kingdom to an established Orthodox Jewish family. He emigrated to Israel in 1948. He attended Ma'aleh, a religious high school in Jerusalem, and later, graduated (with commendation) in law. Between 1957-1961 he was the editor of the journal Monthly Survey (סקירה חודשית), published by the Chief Education Officer. In 1961, he began his work in the Mossad. In 1967, he was selected to the Chief Branches Forum. Halevy remained in the Mossad for the next 28 years, heading three different branches throughout. Between 1990-1995, under the directorship of Shabtai Shavit, he served as deputy director and as head of the headquarters branch. In March 1998, he became the director of Mossad following the resignation of Danny Yatom. In 1996, he became the Israeli ambassador to the European Union in Brussels. Halevy served as the envoy and confidant of five Prime Ministers: Yitzhak Shamir, Yitzhak Rabin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon. He took an active part in a special mission by Rabin in forging the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace. After the failure of the Mossad operation to assassinate Hamas leader Khaled Mashal in 1997, he took an active part in Benjamin Netanyahu's mission to return the Mossad men captured in Jordan, and to settle the crisis with the King of Jordan. On October 2002, he was appointed the second head of the National Security Council and an advisor to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. In June 2003, he resigned from this position after Dov Weisglass, the bureau chief of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, isolated and neutralized him,, and Prime Minister Sharon refrained from accepting his recommendations on a host of issues and went to teach at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of the book The role of the intelligence community in the age of strategic alternatives for Israel. He is known as a hard-headed pragmatist on issues involving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, willing to ruffle feathers on the right and the left, unlike many others in the intelligence establishment who are known to take more extreme ideological positions on these issues. Halevy believes that Israel should take up Hamas’s offer of a long-term truce and try negotiating, because the Islamic movement is respected by Palestinians and generally keeps its word, he said. He pointed to the cease-fire in attacks on Israel that Hamas declared two years ago and has largely honored. “They’re not very pleasant people, but they are very, very credible,” Halevy said. In 2006 he published the book Man in the Shadows, covering Middle Eastern history since the late 1980s. Halevy was interviewed about his book on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on April 24, 2006, and by guest host Brian Ross on the Charlie Rose Show

- Ephraim Halevy (אפרים הלוי), né en 1934, est un homme de loi israélien et il était le neuvième directeur du Mossad (1998-2002) et le 4 chef du Conseil de sécurité nationale israélien. Par dessus tout, il est célèbre pour son investissement dans le traité de paix avec la Jordanie. La relation spéciale qu'il a développée avec le Roi Hussein a permis à Halevy d'amener la Jordanie à la prise de conscience que seul un accord de paix avec Israël permettrait au royaume Hashemite de sortir de la crise après la Guerre du Golfe. Halevy estime qu'Israël doit accepter l'offre du Hamas d'une trêve à long terme et essayer de négocier, parce que selon lui, le mouvement islamique est respecté par les Palestiniens et qu'il tient sa parole, en général. A propos du Hamas, il déclare: « Ils ne sont pas très agréables, mais ils sont très, très crédibles ». En 2006 il publie le livre Man in the Shadow couvrant l'histoire du Moyen-Orient depuis la fin des années 1980.
