Yitzhaky was born in
Tiberias and was an active member of the
Maccabi youth movement. He studied
psychology and
education at
Bar-Ilan University, gaining an MA. Upon completing his studies, he taught
physical education in a number of elementary schools and served as the headmaster of Public School 8 for Children with Special Needs in Tiberias from 1961 to 1963. In 1961, he also founded and directed "Idud", a village for intellectually challenged children. In 1977, as
elections for the ninth Knesset approached, he joined the newly founded
Shlomtzion, and gained second place on its
Knesset list. The party won two seats, and he was elected to the Knesset along with
Ariel Sharon. Immediately after the election, Shlomtzion merged with
Likud. On 14 October 1980 Yitzhaky left Likud and formed a one-man faction named
One Israel. He lost his seat in the
1981 elections when the party failed to cross the electoral threshold. ==Bibliography==
