Faras Hamdan (Arabic: فارس حمدان, Hebrew: פארס חמדאן; 1910 – 29 November 1966) was an Israeli Arab politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the Agriculture and Development party between 1951 and 1959.
Biography
Hamdan was born in Baqa al-Gharbiyye during the Ottoman era. In 1944, he was elected head of local council of his village, where he later established a citrus confectionery factory.[1]
In 1951, he was elected to the Knesset as head of the Agriculture and Development list, which was associated with the ruling Mapai party. The party joined David Ben-Gurion's government, but Hamdan did not receive a ministerial portfolio.
He was re-elected in 1955, and again joined the governing coalition. For the 1959 elections, the party was headed by Mahmud A-Nashaf. It won only one seat and Hamdan lost his place in the Knesset.
He died in 1966.
