Abstract
This long, free-flowing, and wideranging conversation among four former heads of Israel's internal security service (variously referred to as Shin Bet, General Security Services [GSS], and Shabak) was organized, moderated, recorded, and written up by Yedi'ot Aharonot reporters Alex Fishman and Sima Kadman. The ex-GSS directors are (in order of their service) Avraham Shalom (December 1980––September 1986), Yaakov Peri (April 1988––March 1995), Carmi Gillon (March 1995––February 1996), and Ami Ayalon (February 1996––May 2000). The men, whose meeting had apparently been sought by Ayalon to secure backing for his peace initiative (see Doc. A1 above), addressed with unprecedented frankness a wide range of issues from overall political directions to the effectiveness of closures and targeted killings from a security standpoint.The translated article was distributed by Gush Shalom and is available online at www.gush-shalom.org.
