Pinhas Lavon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pinhas Lavon (born July 12, 1904 in Kopychintsy in what was previously Galicia now Ukraine, died January 24, 1976 in Tel Aviv, Israel) was an Israeli politician and labor leader.

He studied law at the University of Lviv, where he organized Histadrut organizations in the region. He made aliyah and moved to the British Mandate of Palestine in 1929.

Lavon served in the Knesset from 1949 until 1961 and was elected leader of Histadrut in 1949, a post in which he served until 1961. He was also secretary of Mapai and was minister of defense from 1954 to 1955, but left in disgrace following the so-called Lavon affair in which Lavon was accused of involvement in terrorist bombings in Egypt (though he was later absolved). He retired from public life in 1964 after a long-standing discord with David Ben-Gurion.
