Political career

She joined the Tzomet party, and chaired its Nahariya branch. She headed the party in Nahariya city council, and was a member of its Absorption and Education Committee. She was elected to the Knesset on the Tzomet list in 1992. However, on 7 February 1994 she left the party together with Alex Goldfarb and Gonen Segev to form Yiud,[1] which joined Yitzhak Rabin's coalition government.
