An Israeli lawyer who represented defendants in sex-crime cases before entering politics, becoming in 2016 the first woman to run for chair of the Israel Bar Association. After a small party she co-founded failed to win a Knesset seat, she joined Likud and was elected in 2022, where she has become one of the most outspoken voices on the war in Gaza — and has drawn formal complaints and criticism for some of her public statements about the judiciary, the military and a rape case.
