Moshe Ben-Ze'ev (Hebrew: משה בן זאב, 8 December 1911 – 25 June 1995) was an Israeli jurist who served as Attorney General between 1963 and 1968.
Legal career
Ben-Ze'ev was born in 1911 in Luninets in the Russian Empire (now in Belarus). He emmigrated to Mandatory Palestine in 1935.
In the 1950s he worked as a judge in a Haifa District court and had close ties with the ruling Mapai party.[1] In early 1963 he replaced Gideon Hausner as Attorney General after Hausner resigned to enter politics.
After concluding his term as Attorney General, Ben-Ze'ev opened a private practice with Aryeh Kamar. In 1980 he headed a commission to investigate abuse of civil servants who had exposed corruption.
Ben-Ze'ev died in Jerusalem in June 1995 and was buried at the Mount of Beatitudes.
