description: "David Levy was an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset between 1969 and 2006. Levy's ascent to political prominence demonstrated the growing influence of Mizrahi Jews in Israel. He played a crucial role in changing the political power structure in Israel by motivating hundreds of thousands of Mizrahi voters to cast their ballots for Menachem Begin. To quote Benjamin Netanyahu, \"David, born in Morocco, forged his way through life with his own two hands... On the national level, he made a personal mark on the political world, while taking care of weak populations that knew adversity.\""
