Book of memories
editIn 2001, Meir Ezri published a memoir called "Anyone of his people among you" (in Hebrew: מי בקלם מכל עמו)[5].[3][6] Israeli politician Shimon Peres mentioned in the introduction of his book:[7]
From many years ago, perhaps even from the previous generation, Mr. Meir Ezri, one of the leaders of Iranian Jews and Israel's ambassador to Iran, is a well-known figure. It is difficult to find someone among us Israelis who is as well aware of the twists and turns of Iranian history and politics as he is. Meir Ezri knows Iranian language well and is well acquainted with Iranian culture. What we see in the mirror, he sees in the raw adobe.
In the book "Anyone of his people among you", Meir Ezri has shown new angles of the relationship between Israel and Iran in the Pahlavi dynasty era.[8]
Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies
editWith the financial assistance of Meir Ezri, in 2006, a research center was opened in Haifa University to learn the the history and culture of Iran and the Persian Gulf region.[9][10]
