Shabtai Shavit, who as director in the 1990s of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, helped to broker a peace agreement with Jordan, oversaw the assassinations of Islamic terrorists, and navigated the global fallout from the collapse of the Soviet Union, died on Sept. 5during a vacation in Italy. He was 84.

While the Mossad was credited with, and criticized for, numerous clandestine operations, Mr. Shavit and the agency were widely praised for their role in bringing Israel and Jordan to the table to sign a treaty in 1994, ending a state of war between the two countries that had existed between the two countries since 1948, when Israel was founded.

Mr. Shavit worked for the Mossad for 32 years, including seven as director under three prime ministers — Shamir, Rabin and Netanyahu.

After retiring from the Mossad in 1996, Mr. Shavit became chief executive of Maccabi Health Care Services, one of the country’s largest health maintenance organizations. He also worked for gas and security companies, advised the Knesset, and chaired an organization that awarded scholarships to veterans.
