In 1988 he became a member of the Israeli delegation to the United Nations. He was on the Labor Party list for the 1992 elections, but failed to win a seat. However, he entered the Knesset on 5 July 1995 as a replacement for Avraham Burg,[1] and was made a Deputy Speaker. He lost his seat in the 1996 elections.
