From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avigdor Yitzhaki (Hebrew: אביגדור יצחקי; 13 September 1949 – 5 April 2025) was an Israeli politician. He was a member of the Knesset for Kadima, having been the party's parliamentary group chairman and head of the coalition. He was the chairman of Friends of Schneider.
On 2 May 2007, Yitzhaki requested that Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert resign as soon as possible following the Winograd Commission's first report.[1] On 7 February 2008 he resigned from the Knesset due to "serious doubts over Ehud Olmert's ability to lead the government in the wake of the Winograd Report".[2]
Yitzhaki died in Tel Aviv on 5 April 2025, at the age of 75.[3]
