Biography
[edit]Yogev was educated at the ORT School in Ramat Gan and subsequently studied at the Open University. She was elected to Hefer Valley Regional Council in 2003 and later became a member of Kadima, heading its women's headquarters. Prior to the 2013 Knesset elections she was placed eleventh on the Kadima list,[1] but the party won only two seats.
Having left Kadima to join Likud, she was placed forty-first on its list for the April 2019 elections,[2] but the party won only 35 seats. She was placed forty-third for the September 2019 elections,[3] in which Likud won 32 seats. Although she missed out again in the March 2020 elections in which she was placed forty-third and Likud won 36 seats, she entered the Knesset in December 2020 as a replacement for Ze'ev Elkin, who had resigned to join Gideon Sa'ar's New Hope party.[4] Placed forty-second on the Likud list for the March 2021 elections, she lost her seat as Likud was reduced to 30 seats.
