Meir Deshalit, also known as Meme Deshalit, was an Israeli intelligence official and a close colleague of James Jesus Angleton. He had been posted to Washington, D.C. in 1948. Deshalit was the older brother of Amos Deshalit, the physicist who contributed significantly to Israel's nuclear arsenal before his death in 1969. Angleton shared Meir Deshalit's view of the Soviet and Arab threat to Israel, making him a logical choice to handle liaison between the CIA and the Israeli government.1
