Moshe Ben-Ze'ev (Hebrew: משה בן זאב) (1911 – 1995) was an Israeli jurist who served as Attorney General between 1963 and 1968.

Legal career

In the 1950s, Moshe Ben-Ze'ev worked as a judge in the Haifa District court and had close ties with Mapai, then the ruling party.[1] In early 1963, he replaced Gideon Hausner as Attorney General, after Hausner resigned to enter politics.

After concluding his term as Attorney General, Ben-Ze'ev opened a private practice with Aryeh Kamar.

In 1980, he headed a commission to investigate abuse of civil servants who had exposed corruption.
