Biography
Dekel was born in Pińsk, Poland (now in Belarus) in 1920.[1] During World War II he served in the Red Army between 1943 and 1944, and then the Polish Army from 1944 until 1946.[1] After the war, he became commander of a Betar group in a Displaced Persons camp in Austria, and was also amongst the leaders of the Austrian Irgun branch.[1]
In 1949 he emigrated to Israel.[1] The following year he joined moshav Nordia,[1] which had been founded by former Irgun members. He also became a member of the Herut party, and in 1966 became a member of its directorate and central committee.[1]
In 1977 he was elected to the Knesset on the Likud list (an alliance of Herut and other right-wing parties). He was re-elected in 1981 and was appointed Deputy Minister of Agriculture on 11 August that year.[1] He was re-elected again in 1984 and was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense on 3 December 1985. He held the post until 21 November 1988, three weeks after losing his seat in the elections.[1]
He died in 1994 at the age of 74.[1]
