Zeev Rosenstein (Hebrew: זאב רוזנשטיין; born 1954) is an infamous Israeli drug trafficker.

[1] He never completed high school, and instead worked in an electronics store on Allenby Street in Tel Aviv until beginning his mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces.

With the exception of a robbery conviction in the 1970s, police had never managed to gather sufficient evidence to indict Rosenstein.

[2] Ariel Sharon called an emergency cabinet meeting and the government announced an extra 500 million shekels in the fight against organized crime.

As part of his plea agreement in the U.S., he had confessed to having hired assassins to kill rival mafia leaders in Israel, which he had previously denied.
