Yigal Guetta
Israeli politician
Nissan Yigal Guetta (Hebrew: ניסן יגאל גואטה; born 18 March 1966) is an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Shas between 2016 and 2017.
Early life
Guetta was born and raised in Kiryat Shmona. His brother and sister-in-law were killed in the Kiryat Shmona massacre in 1974 when he was 8 years old. He carried out his IDF national service in the Nahal Brigade. He was educated at Bais Hatalmud in Jerusalem, and gained a master's degree in business and public administration from Ono Academic College.
Municipal politics
In 2003 he was elected to Bnei Brak City Council on the Shas list, becoming responsible for its finance portfolio. In 2008, he was appointed CEO of the municipality of El'ad. In 2010, after alleging corruption on the part of the mayor, he was fired. He returned to work, however, after the State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss issued a temporary decree. Lindenstrauss ordered Guetta to leave his position six months later, once the decree expired.

Why this record matters
The phrase “israeli politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22259724. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1966, 2016, 2017 and 1974.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
