Halevy served as the 9th director of the Mossad from 1998-2002. He has served in other capacities in the Mossad since 1961, his most memorable and impressive mission being his part in bringing about the Israel-Jordan peace treaty, signed in 1994. In 2006, he published a book Man in the Shadows: Inside the Middle East Crisis with a Man Who Led the Mossad, about the secret work and global impact of the Mossad’s missions, specifically the fight against Islamic terrorism.
