Major-General Chaim Herzog was an Israeli military officer, attorney, politician and writer who served as the sixth President of Israel between 1983 and 1993.

He was born in Belfast and raised predominantly in Dublin, where his father, Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, served as Ireland's Chief Rabbi. In 1935 he emigrated to Mandatory Palestine, then served in the Haganah during the 1936–39 Arab revolt. He volunteered for service in the British Army during World War II, and was commissioned as an officer of the Intelligence Corps in 1943. He left the British Army in 1947 as a major, and returned to Palestine. After the end of the British Mandate and Israel's Declaration of Independence, he served as an officer of the Israel Defence Forces during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. He retired from the IDF in 1962 with the rank of major-general.

After practising law for a few years, Major-General Herzog served as Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 1975 to 1978. He was elected to the Knesset in the 1981 elections, and in March 1983 he was elected President of Israel. He served two terms in that position, and retired in 1993.
