Biography


Ahimeir was born in Jerusalem during the Mandate era, the son of the journalist and historian Abba Ahimeir. He gained a BA from Tel Aviv University, and began working as a journalist at HaYom, the Gahal-affiliated newspaper, in 1966. In 1969 he moved to Ma'ariv, where he worked until 1984.


In 1984 he became assistant to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir. In 1988 he was appointed Director of the Prime Minister's Office, a post he held until Shamir lost the 1992 elections.


Ahimeir was on the Likud list for the elections, and although he failed to win a seat, he entered the Knesset on 7 August 1995 as a replacement for the deceased Haim Kaufman.[1] However, he lost his seat in the 1996 elections.


His brother, Ya'akov Ahimeir, is also a journalist.
