Dov Boris Khenin (Hebrew: דב חנין; born 10 January 1958) is an Israeli politician, political scientist and lawyer who served in the Knesset as a member of the Joint List.

[3] In December 2014, the minimum wage for workers was raised to 27 NIS through a contract agreement between the Histadrut labor union and the Manufacturers Association of Israel.

In 2015, Prime Minister Netanyahu's cabinet voted to allow the development of natural gas harvesting off the coast of the Mediterranean sea.

Khenin and other critics noted how this would give too much power to the American Nobel Energy group, as well as pose a conflict of interests to Netanyahu.

[7] Recognizing the municipality's lack of authority over traffic regulations, Khenin acted in 2008 to pass legislation that would have communities create their own policies.

In 2014, Khenin headed a subcommittee calling for stricter environmental standards to be imposed on Haifa's oil refineries located along its port.

During Operation Protective Edge, Khenin showed vehement opposition to the war, placing complete blame on Prime Minister Netanyahu.

The party was supported by the Jaffa Jewish-Arab list Yafa (whose partners are Balad and Hadash) and endorsed by the Green Movement[12] in Tel Aviv's 2008 municipal election.

Khenin's platform in this election were largely focused on improving civil infrastructure, public transportation, housing, education equality, and ecology.

[62] As a politician who is considered to be committed to Socialist values, Khenin legislated dozens of social laws, and stood many times in support of workers struggles.

In an article he published in the Communist Party's weekly newspaper in 1991, as the USSR and the East-European Socialist countries were collapsing, Khenin wrote that what is needed is "neither social-democracy nor Stalinism, but a modern and revolutionary Left, that can truly advance the Socialist challenge"[63] Khenin was active in the peace movement since an early age, and was one of the first protesters against the 1982 Lebanon War.

The Socialism that I aspire to means liberating politics from big capital, and expanding democracy to encompass all walks of life".
