Betzalel "Tzali" Reshef (Hebrew: בצלאל "צלי" רשף, born 23 June 1953) is a former Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the Labor Party between August 2002 and February 2003.

Biography

Reshef studied law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Harvard University, where he gained a bachelor's and master's degree respectively, before working as an attorney.

One of the founders of Peace Now,[1] he published a book on the organisation in 1996 entitled Peace Now: From the Officers' Letter to the Peace Now.

Prior to the 1999 elections he was placed 35th on the One Israel list (an alliance of Labor, Meimad and Gesher),[2] but failed to become a Knesset member as the alliance won only 26 seats. Although he entered the Knesset on 21 August 2002 as a replacement for Ra'anan Cohen, he did not contest the 2003 elections and lost his seat.

He was placed ninth on the Meretz list for the 2009 elections,[3] but the party won only three seats.
