Biography

Ne'eman was born in Tel Aviv during the Mandate era. He studied law at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, earning a LL.B in 1964. In 1965, he earned a LL.M from New York University, and in 1968, a LL.D.

After returning to Israel, he established Herzog, Fox & Neeman. He has chaired or been a member of numerous national and international committees, including the Executive Committee of Bar-Ilan University, the public committee appointed by the Speaker of the Knesset to determine salaries and other payments to government officials, the public committee appointed by the cabinet for the Drafting of the Constitution, the Public Committee on Educational Centers, the Public Committee on Privatisation Issues of El Al, the board of governors of Bank of Israel, the Committee for the Conversion Law, the National Committee for the Identification of Fallen Soldiers in Times of Emergency, Israel Atomic Energy Committee and the Central Committee of the World Bank.

Ne'eman was appointed Director General of the Finance Ministry in 1979, serving until 1981. In 1996 he was appointed to the Israeli cabinet by then-Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, despite not being a member of the Knesset. He was initially appointed Minister of Justice, before replacing Netanyahu as Minister of Finance in July 1997 (Netanyahu had temporarily replaced Dan Meridor who had left Likud to found Israel in the Centre). He served in the government until Netanyahu lost the 1999 elections.
