Ilan Gilon (, born 12 May 1956) is an Israeli politician who currently serves as a member of the Knesset for Meretz. ==Biography== Born in Romania, son of Abraham Goldstein. Gilon suffered from polio at the age of seven months, leaving him with a leg disability. He made aliyah to Israel and studied international relations and political science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, but did not complete his studies. During his youth, he chaired the Mapam youth group, before becoming the first Meretz Youth coordinator in 1995. Between 1993 and 1999 he served as deputy mayor of Ashdod, in which he was responsible for education. Prior to the 1999 Knesset elections Gilon was placed eighth on the Meretz list,〔(Parties and Lists ) The Jerusalem Post〕 and entered then Knesset when the party won 10 seats. Gilon devoted most of his activity in the Knesset to social affairs, as part of his ideology, which he calls "Orthopedic Socialism". He was a member of the committees on the Economy, Interior and Environmental Affairs, Child's Rights, Labor, Welfare and Health and the special committee to the problem of Foreign Workers. During his first term in the Knesset Gilon passed over 15 laws and amendments, including an amendment to the social insurance law that improved handicapped rights, a law that required paying waiters the minimum wage, regardless of tips, and an expansion of the Handicapped rights law, adding a chapter that involved making structures accessible to handicapped people. Gilon was the only Meretz MK to vote against Ehud Barak's budget, stating it is "Anti-Social in a most profound way". As a response to Ehud Barak's call after the publication of the Poverty Report, to "Open the refrigerators", Gilon said "For those sorts statements you need a refrigerators technician, not a Prime Minister". For the 2003 elections he was placed seventh on the Meretz list,〔(Candidates for the 16th Knesset ) Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs〕 but lost his seat when the party was reduced to six MKs. After leaving the Knesset he owned a restaurant called "Beit HaAm" in which the waiters wore shirts of Israeli youth movements. He was placed eighth on the party's list for the 2006 elections,〔(List of Candidates: Meretz ) Knesset website〕 but missed out on a seat as the party was reduced to five MKs. Prior to the 2009 elections Gilon won second place on the Meretz list,〔(Meretz primaries: Ilan Gilon takes top spot ) Ynetnews, 15 December 2008〕 and returned to the Knesset when the party won three seats. He served as head of the Meretz faction in the Knesset, and was ranked as one of the 5 top legislators of social laws, according to the Social Guard index. In February 2012 Gilon ran for the Meretz leadership, finishing second with 37.7%, behind Zehava Gal-On (60%) and ahead of Ori Ophir (2.8%). He was re-elected in 2013, and again in 2015 after being placed second on the party's list.〔(Meretz list ) Central Elections Committee〕 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「Ilan Gilon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
