David "Dudu" Amsalem (Hebrew: דוד "דודי" אמסלם, born 11 August 1960), also known as Dudi Amsalem, is an Israeli politician.
Biography[edit]
Born in Jerusalem, Amsalem was educated at Yeshivat Or Etzion. During his IDF national service he was a tank commander in the Armored Corps. He later obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Business Administration from Bar-Ilan University.
A member of the Likud, he became chairman of the party's Jerusalem branch. He was placed 42nd on the joint Likud Yisrael Beiteinu list for the 2013 Knesset elections,[1] but with the alliance winning only 31 seats, he did not become a Knesset member. Prior to the 2015 Knesset elections he was placed 21st on the party's list,[2] a slot reserved for a candidate from the Jerusalem area.[3] He was elected to the Knesset as Likud won 30 seats.[4]
Amsalem lives in the Israeli settlement Ma'ale Adumim, and is married with two daughters.
