Moshe Peled (politician)

Moshe Peled (Hebrew משה פלד born April 2, 1945, in Kibbutz Beit Hashita ) is a former Israeli politician.

He did his military service in the armored troops (Hebrew חֵיל שִׁרְיוֹן ) and ended his career with the rank of colonel. He was first in 1992 for the right-wing Tzomet member of the Knesset. He was re-elected in the 1996 elections on the joint list of Likud, Gescher and Tzomet and was in the government of Benjamin Netanyahu deputy education minister. After the death of the Minister of Education Zebulun Hammer on 20 January 1998 Peled left his post as deputy for a week to rest until January 28 and then took it back on. On November 2, 1998, he resigned and was finally ( also Tzomet ) replaced by Eliezer Sandberg.

On March 4, 1999 Peled left the Tzomet and started his own one-man Group, Mechora (Hebrew מכורה r &lm; to German: home country), which followed on the same day of the nationalist Moledet. In the next Knesset elections on 17 May 1999, the Moledet was part of the National Union, a combined list of the nationalist parties in Israel. There Peled was in eighth place and lost his Knesset since the list only won four seats.
