Ya'akov Shimshon Shapira ((ヘブライ語:יעקב שמשון שפירא), born 11 April 1902, died 14 November 1993) was an Israeli jurist and politician. ==Biography== Shapira was born in Yelisavetgrad in the Russian Empire (now Kirovograd, Ukraine) in 1902. He studied in a Yeshiva and later studied medicine at the University of Kharkov. He was active in the Zionist socialist Movement and was incarcerated for his activism from 1923 to 1924. In 1924 he immigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine and joined a "Conquest of Labor" group in Petah Tikva, where he worked as an orchardman. He was one of the founders of kibbutz Giv'at HaShlosha. He was secretary of Ahdut HaAvoda in Jerusalem and a member of the Jerusalem workers' council. He studied law at the Hebrew University and was certified as a lawyer. In 1934 he moved to Haifa to practice law, and ran an office there until 1948. He represented the Hagana and other groups before the Mandate authorities. After the establishment of the State of Israel he became the Director General of the Justice Ministry, and was Israel's first Attorney General from 1948 to 1950.〔 In November 1948 he headed an official investigation into allegations of IDF attacks on civilians.〔Morris, Benny. 'The birth of the Palestinian refugee problem, 1947-1949.' ISBN 0-521-33028-9. (1987). Page 233.〕 In 1951 he was elected to the second Knesset for Mapai, and was a member of the House and Constitution, Law and Justice committees. In the third Knesset he was also chairman of the Mapai faction. In 1955 he retired from the Knesset due to allegations that his involvement in the oil business is inappropriate for a workers party representative. In 1966 to 1973 (except for a short period in 1972 during which he was replaced by Golda Meir), he was Minister of Justice. In 1969 he was elected to the seventh Knesset for the Alignment and was once again a member of the Constitution, Law and Justice committee.〔 As Minister of Justice, he opposed the annexation of East Jerusalem after the Six-Day War.〔 〕 Following the Yom Kippur War, he resigned from the government after his demands to fire Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan were denied.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ya'akov Shimshon Shapira」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
