About this person

Born Musa Qassab in Iran in 1945, Katsav rose through Likud ranks to serve in the Knesset and cabinet before winning the presidency in 2000, the first Mizrahi Jew to hold the office. His tenure unraveled when allegations surfaced: rape of a female subordinate, sexual harassment of others. He resigned in 2007 under a plea deal, then rejected it and went to trial. On 30 December 2010, a court convicted him on two counts of rape, obstruction of justice, and other charges. The Supreme Court upheld the verdict in November 2011. He entered Maasiyahu Prison that December and served five years of a seven-year sentence before release in 2016.
