Biography

Born in Tel Aviv during the Mandate era, Katz-Oz studied at the Faculty for Agriculture in Rehovot and the Faculty for Genetics in Jerusalem. He worked as the agricultural co-ordinator and secretary of kibbutz Nahal Oz and was secretary of Ihud HaKvutzot VeHaKibbutzim between 1969 and 1973.

In 1976 he became chairman of the organisational branch of the Labour Party (then part of the Alignment alliance), serving until 1978. He missed out on election to the Knesset in the 1977 elections, but entered the parliament as a replacement for Yitzhak Navon (who had just been elected President) in April 1978.

He was re-elected in 1981 and 1984, and was appointed Deputy Agriculture Minister in the national unity government formed in 1984. Following the 1988 elections he became Minister of Agriculture, serving until the Alignment withdrew from the government in March 1990. He lost his seat in the 1992 election, though he returned to it in July 1995 as a replacement for the deceased Mordechai Gur. However, he resigned his seat in May 1996 and was replaced by Zvi Nir.
