Dedi Zucker, 34, a political scientist and leader of Peace Now, was sworn in as a member of the Knesset Monday, representing the Citizens Rights Movement (CRM). He replaces Mordechai Bar-On who resigned his seat recently. Bar-On quite voluntarily, saying he did not want to stand for re-election but wanted his successor to gain parliamentary experience before the next elections. In addition to Zucker, the CRM Knesset faction consists of Shulamit Aloni and Ran Cohen.
