Mifal Hapais announces with great sorrow the passing of its Chairman of the board, CPA Avigdor Itzchaky.
CPA Avigdor Itzchaky, born in 1949, served as Chairman of Mifal Hapais since 2018. Previously, he served in a variety of public positions, including Director General of the Prime Minister’s Office, Member of the 17th Israeli Knesset, Coalition Chairman, and Head of the National Housing Headquarters.
In recent years, he battled cancer and on April 5th, 2025, after a heroic and prolonged struggle, he passed away.
It is with great sadness and pain that we say goodbye to our dear Chairman — a friend and leader, a man who loved people, who dedicated most of his life to extensive work for a more just and better Israeli society and a stronger Israel country — and always with a huge smile and with all his soul.
In his role as Chairman of Mifal Hapais, Mr. Itzchaky led an unprecedented social revolution and initiated countless actions for various sectors in Israel and society as a whole. Since the outbreak of the 7th October war and despite his medical condition, Mr. Itzchaky worked day and night to strengthen Israel’s national emergency system and ensure the well-being of the residents of the south of Israel near the Gaza Strip and the north of Israel. We will miss Mr. Itzchaky greatly and will make sure to continue his glorious legacy.
May his soul rest in peace in heaven.
