Moshe Shahal

Moshe Shahal (Hebrew: משה שחל; born 20 May 1934) is an Israeli former politician.

He began his political career when elected to the Haifa Labor Council in 1964, a position he retained until 1971.

For the 1969 Knesset elections he was placed 57th on the Alignment's list, but missed out when the alliance won only 56 seats.

However, he regained the Energy and Construction post at the same time, though he gave it up in January 1995, when Gonen Segev (a new addition to Yitzhak Rabin's government) replaced him.

Although he retained his seat in the 1996 elections and Labor remained the largest party, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud formed the government, and Shahal lost his place in the cabinet.
