Efraim Halevi was Director of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency from 1998 to 2002.[1]

Halevi is a nephew of Sir Isaiah Berlin.[2]

According to the Sunday Times, Halevi's tenure as Mossad chief contrasted with that of his successor, Meir Dagan:

Halevy was dubbed the “cocktail man” for his long chats with foreign diplomats. He shrank from brutal covert operations. Eventually the then prime minister, Ariel Sharon, removed him and appointed Dagan in his place.[3]
