David Golomb

David Golomb (Hebrew: דוד גולומב; 4 February 1933 – 27 June 2019) was an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the Alignment, Labor Party, Democratic Movement for Change and Shinui in two spells between 1968 and 1969, and again from 1977 until 1981.

Golomb was born in Tel Aviv during the Mandate era to Eliyahu Golomb, the man who formed the Haganah, and his mother Ada was the sister of future Israeli Prime Minister Moshe Sharett.

Although he failed to win a seat, he entered the Knesset on 9 December 1968 (as a Labor Party MK due to the merger of Mapai, Ahdut HaAvoda and Rafi) as a replacement for Dov Sadan,[3] who had resigned.

In 1977 Golomb joined the new Democratic Movement for Change party,[2] and was placed eleventh on its list for the elections that year.

When the party split in 1978 he joined Shinui, but on 13 May 1980, he and Meir Amit defected to the Alignment.
