Biography

edit

An activist for self-employed workers,[1] Bezek joined the Yesh Atid party. After it became part of the Blue and White alliance for the April 2019 elections, she was placed sixty-second on the Blue and White list,[2] but failed to win a seat as the alliance won 35 seats. She was unsuccessful again in the September 2019 elections (in which she was placed fifth-eighth)[3] and the March 2020 elections (for which she was placed fifty-fifth).[4]

After Yesh Atid broke away from the alliance, she was placed twentieth on its list for the March 2021 elections.[5] Although the party won only 17 seats, she entered the Knesset on 25 June as a replacement for Karine Elharrar,[6] after Elharrar was appointed to the cabinet and resigned from the Knesset under the Norwegian Law. However, she opted not to contest the 2022 elections and lost her seat.[7]

Private life

Bezek lives in Yuvalim, a community settlement in northern Israel.
