Military	Person Military Israel	Colonel Arieh Shur was an officer in the Israeli Defense Forces' External Relations Department.

Colonel Arieh Shur was an officer in the Israel' 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
