Yigal Cohen

Yigal Cohen (Hebrew: יגאל כהן; 1928 – 6 December 1988) was an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Likud between 1974 and 1988.

He attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was a member of the Palmach's first brigade.

He worked as a trainer for immigrant moshavim in the Jerusalem corridor, and later as a Gadna trainer in Europe, the United States and Africa for the Ministry of Defense.

In 1965 he was part of the Rafi group that broke away from Mapai, and in 1968 switched to the new National List party, chairing its group in the Histadrut's Executive Committee.

He won a place on the Likud list (an alliance of several right-wing parties including the National List, Herut and the Liberal Party) for the 1973 Knesset elections.
