Egyptian Jews can be proud that one of their own was
instrumental in successfully negotiating the release of Gilad
Shalit after five years of captivity in Gaza.
His name is David Meidan
(Mosseri), who has worked for Mossad for 30 years. The
Arabic-speaking head of Tevel, the branch in charge of
cooperation and intelligence-sharing with foreign intelligence
services, Meidan was appointed by Prime Minister Netanyahu as
his special envoy to take part in the Shalit negotiations six
months ago. Israeli TV has said he played a major part in
securing the young hostage's freedom, his contacts with Egyptian
intelligence proving crucial.
Meidan was born in Egypt in 1955. At the age of two he was
brought to Israel by his parents Rose and Nathan Mosseri, and
later changed his name to Meidan.
