Biography
Moshe Sharett (Hebrew: משה שרת; born Moshe Chertok (משה שרתוק); October 15, 1894 – July 7, 1965) was an Israeli politician who was Prime Minister of Israel from 1954 to 1955 and Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1948 to 1956. He signed the Israeli Declaration of Independence and was a principal negotiator in the cease-fire agreements that concluded the 1948 Palestine war. Beginning in 1933, he headed the political department of the Jewish Agency. He also founded the Jewish Brigade, which fought with the British Army against Nazi Germany during World War II.
A member of Mapai, Sharett's term was both preceded and succeeded by the premiership of David Ben-Gurion.
