Labib Hussein Abu Rokan

Labib Hussein Abu Rokan (, ; 1911 – 20 November 1989) was a Druze Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the Cooperation and Brotherhood party between 1959 and 1961.

Biography Abu Rokan was born in Isfiya during the Ottoman era. During the Arab revolt in the late 1930s, he played a crucial role in establishing connections with Abba Hushi (secretary of Haifa Workers Council) and the Haganah. He was also a member of the Histadrut-affiliated Union of Workers in Eretz Yisrael.

During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War Abu Rokan recruited Druze volunteers to fight in the Israel Defense Forces. Following the war, he helped establish co-operative groups in Druze and Arab villages, including Bustan, which sold vegetables.

In 1950 he became head of Isfiya local council, a position he held until 1959. That year, he was elected to the Knesset as a representative of the Cooperation and Brotherhood party. Despite the party maintaining its two-seat strength in the 1961 elections, Abu Rokan and his colleague Yussef Diab lost their seats.

In 1963, Abu Rokan was appointed as a Qadi of the Druze Religious Court. Later, in 1980, he became a qadi in the Druze Religious Appeals Court.

He died on 20 November 1989.
