Roni Brizon

Aharon "Roni" Brizon (Hebrew: אהרן "רוני" בריזון‎‎, born 16 October 1944) is a former Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Shinui and the Secular Faction between 2003 and 2006.

Biography

Born in Tel Aviv, Brizon gained a BA in political science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a BA in philosophy from Tel Aviv University.

For the 2003 elections he was placed tenth on the Shinui list, and entered the Knesset when the party won 15 seats. During his first term he was a member of the House Committee, the Internal Affairs and Environment Committee, the Finance Committee and the Committee on Foreign Workers.

Along with most of the party's MKs, he defected to the Secular Faction (which later became Hetz) shortly before the 2006 elections following disagreements over the results of Shinui's primary results. He was placed second on the Hetz list for the elections, but lost his seat when the party failed to cross the electoral threshold.

Brizon later joined Hatnuah, and was placed twentieth on its list for the 2013 elections. However, the party won only six seats.
