Meir's last duty and mission was as an Israeli intelligence agent in Egypt, from 1952 to the end of 1954.
Meir's mission in Egypt was to gather information for Israeli Intelligence about the strength of the Egyptian army, the power of the military industry, Egyptian strategy and intentions toward Israel, the activities of significant anti-Israeli bodies, propaganda etc. Bineth was caught and arrested after the fall of the "network", an incident which later became known as the Lavon Affair.
