Life
Galili was in 1911 when Israel Berchenko in Podolian Brailow (Brajiliw) in today's Ukraine born. His family emigrated to Palestine in 1914 and settled in Tel Aviv . In 1924 Galili was one of the founders of the left-wing Zionist, union -related youth organization Histadrut ha-No'ar ha-Owed we-ha-Lomed (Federation of Working and Studying Youth). After attending school and an apprenticeship, he began a military career with the Hagana in 1927 . In 1930 he helped found the kibbutz Naʿan, where he lived until his death.
In 1935 he was appointed to the leadership of the Hagana. Disguised as a plumber, Galili went to Akko prison in 1939 and dissuaded fellow Hagana soldiers from the idea of attempting an escape there. He also held a leading position in the Mossad le Aliyah Bet , which encouraged the further immigration of Jews to Palestine (against the will of the British Mandate).
During the Second World War , Galili was involved in preparations to prevent a German invasion of Palestine. In 1946 he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Hagana, from which the Israel Defense Forces emerged after the establishment of the State of Israel . In the middle of the Arab-Israeli war , Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion deposed Galili as chief of staff in June 1948.
In the first legislative term of the Knesset (1949-1951) Galili was a member of the left-wing socialist Mapam party. From the third to the eighth legislative period (1955–1977) he belonged again to the Knesset, as a member of the moderate left Achdut haAwoda , which in 1968 was absorbed into the Israeli labor party Avoda . Under Prime Minister Levi Eschkol , Galili was Minister of Information from 1966 to 1969 . In the governments of Golda Meir , he served as Minister in the Prime Minister's Office from 1969 to 1977.
