Menachem Ratzon (Hebrew: מנחם רצון‎, born 5 August 1919, died 12 November 1987) was an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Mapam.

Biography

Born in Petah Tikva shortly after the end of World War I, Ratzon worked in orchards, industry and as a tour guide. He joined the Socialist League, which later evolved into Hashomer Hatzair Workers Party and then Mapam. He served on the actions committee of the Histadrut trade union, and was also a memebr of Petah Tikva's Workers Council, and director of its planning department.

He narrowly missed out on a seat in the 1949 elections, as Mapam won 19 mandates. However, he entered the Knesset on 10 April 1951 as a replacement for Dov Bar-Nir,[1] who resigned his seat. However, he lost his seat in the July 1951 elections, in which Mapam was reduced to 15 seats.

He died in 1987 at the age of 68
