Tat Aluf (Brigadier General) Avigdor Kahalani (Hebrew: אביגדור קהלני, born 16 June 1944) is a former Israeli soldier and politician.
Kahalani's battalion – along with other elements of the 7th Armored Brigade – engaged in fierce defensive fighting against a vastly superior Syrian mechanized force of more than 50,000 men and 1,200 tanks.
For his actions, Kahalani was awarded the highest Israeli military decoration, the Medal of Valor.
During the Knesset session, Kahalani broke away from the Labor Party and founded The Third Way with Emanuel Zisman.
The new party won four seats in the 1996 elections, and joined Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, with Kahalani made Minister of Internal Security.
However, in the 1999 elections the party failed to cross the electoral threshold and Kahalani lost his seat.
