Person Military Israel

Colonel Arieh Shur was an officer in the Israel Defense Forces' External Relations Department. He provided a letter of recommendation for Ari Ben-Menashe, confirming Ben-Menashe's service in a task that demanded "considerable analytical and executive skills." The letter noted Ben-Menashe's ability to carry out his task with "understanding, skill, and determination," and to adapt to changing situations.¹

This letter was later introduced as evidence during Ari Ben-Menashe trial to counter the Israel government's claim that he was merely a low-level translator.¹
