Biography

In 1985, he became head of I'billin local council, a position he held until 2008. He was placed fourth on the Hadash list for the 1992 elections, but missed out on a seat as the party won three seats. However, he entered the Knesset on 5 July 1994 as a replacement for the deceased Tawfiq Ziad.[1] After being placed second on the joint Hadash-Balad list, he was re-elected in the 1996 elections and was appointed Deputy Speaker of the Knesset. Prior to the 1999 elections he decided to retire from politics, and was given a symbolic place on the party's list (116th), losing his seat.
