AmramMitzna (Hebrew: עמרם מצנע; born February 20, 1945) is an Israeli politician who served as the mayor of Haifa from 1993 to 2003.
Mitzna resigned from the government shortly after, and Shimon Peres was elected as the new Labour leader.
Early November 2005, Mitzna was appointed by Israeli Internal Affairs Minister as acting mayor of Yeruham, a town in the southern Negev region, after the elected mayor was forced to step aside, due to incompetence.
AmramMitzna, a former "dovish general", emerged from relative obscurity to head Israel's beleaguered Labour Party in November 2002.
Mr Mitzna was born in 1945 on a kibbutz.
Mr Mitzna served as IDF commander in the West Bank during the first Palestinian uprising, where he was said to be as tough as any other general in dealings with the Palestinians.
