Biography

Born in Mandatory Palestine in 1923, Biton joined the Haganah at the age of 16, and later commanded a platoon in the Hish. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War he commanded a company in the Givati Brigade, and was later demobilised from the IDF as a major.

In 1947 he had begun working at the Palestine Electricity Corporation (which was to become the Israel Electric Corporation) and later became chairman of its national secretariat.[1] In 1965 he was elected to the Knesset on the Alignment list, but lost his seat in the 1969 elections. He died in 2005 at the age of 81.
