Ya'acov Perry
Jerusalem (JTA) — The identity
of the former head of Israel's do-
mestic Shin Bet intelligence
agency was made public.
Ya'acov Perry, 51, a Tel Aviv
native who grew up in Netanya,
recently left the top Shin Bet post,
which he held for seven years.
Israeli newspapers published
photographs and laudatory arti-
cles on the man whose identity,
according to policy, had been a
closely guarded secret.
Mr. Perry recently was re-
placed by a man identified only
as "K." The new head, whom Mr.
Perry recommended as his suc-
cessor, had served as Mr. Perry's
deputy.
In 1966, Mr. Perry joined Shin
Bet as an operative in the Arab
department. He was appointed
head of Shin Bet by then-Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir.
Mr. Perry took over Shin Bet
during one of its most difficult pe-
riods, the period after the out-
break of the Palestinian uprising,
or intifada, in December 1987.
During this period, the agency
was embroiled in controversy
about both confirmed and alleged
cases of abuse during interroga-
tions.
A commission formed to in-
vestigate these reports estab-
lished standards for the use of
moderate physical pressure dur-
ing questioning.
Mr. Perry also directed the
agency's adjustment to the new
realities of the self-rule accord
signed by Israel and the Pales-
tinians in September 1993.
In a personal letter to Mr. Per-
ry, Prime Minister Yitzhak Ra-
bin praised the outgoing head for
his achievements and leadership
skills in guiding Shin Bet through
its challenges.
Mr. Rabin also thanked Mr.
Perry's corps of "anonymous sol-
diers."
