Raw Blame History

Israel

Iris was a representative of LAKAM in Washington D.C.. She served as a conduit for intelligence reports between Robert McFarlane and Jonathan Pollard in the USA, and Rafi Eitan in Israel.1

Iris would receive requests for computer access codes for certain intelligence items from Rafi Eitan. She would then pass these requests to Robert McFarlane, who would provide her with the specified access codes. Iris would then give these codes to Jonathan Pollard, who would retrieve the information, photocopy it, and return the copies to Iris. This process was designed to distance Robert McFarlane from Jonathan Pollard.1
