Biography
editMagi Otsri was born in Haifa to Natela and Yosef Otsri (formerly Ocherashvili), who immigrated to Israel from Georgia in 1973. She grew up in the Neve Paz neighborhood and later moved to Neve Sha'anan, Tel Aviv. Otsri served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as a clerk in a fighter squadron.[2]
After completing her military service, Otsri studied law at Tel Aviv University, working as a research assistant to Professor Daphne Barak-Erez during her undergraduate studies. She interned at the law firm S. Horowitz & Co.[3]
Otsri has publicly shared that she experienced a sexual assault at age six and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2020. During a manic episode, she completed her 300-page dissertation in a month and a half.
On May 29, 2024, Otsri stated on Raviv Drucker's program "Choice Zone" that "the most moral army in the world is no longer moral, and in fact, it is not much of an army anymore. The IDF has transformed from the Israel Defense Forces to an Occupation Army in the West Bank."[4][5]
