Ari Ankorion

Ari Ankorion (Hebrew: ארי אנקוריון, 2 October 1908 – 11 March 1986) was an Israeli politician and lawyer.

He studied law at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas and was certified as a lawyer.

After returning to Palestine, he worked as a legal advisor for Hevrat Ovdim, the Histadrut's holding company, from 1940 until 1946.

He was on the Mapai list for the 1961 elections, and although he failed to win a seat, he entered the Knesset on 7 July 1965 as a replacement for the deceased Moshe Sharett.

Nevertheless, he returned to the Knesset for a second time on 26 February 1969 as a replacement for Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, who had died in office.
