Colonel Meir Meir was the chief of the External Relations Department (ERD) of the Israel/Military Intelligence. He interviewed Ari Ben-Menashe for a civilian position in the ERD in 1977, believing they could utilize Ari Ben-Menashe Iran expertise.1
Meir Meir was contacted by Ari Ben-Menashe during his mission to Nicaragua in 1978, when Ari Ben-Menashe was detained by Nicaragua state security. Meir Meir confirmed Ari Ben-Menashe identity to the Nicaragua ambassador.1
He also sent Ari Ben-Menashe to Washington, D.C. with David Kimche on the Mossad budget, as David Kimche needed an Iran affairs briefer for a secret operation to supply Iran with small arms and spare parts.1
