Shin Bet Chief's Sister Poses With Activist, Vows to Block Arab Lawmaker

Yiska Haimov, sister of Shin Bet chief David Zini and a Knesset candidate for the "Noam L'Yisrael" party, was filmed on Thursday with right-wing activist Mordechai David. In the video, David stated that he and Haimov planned to block the path of Ahmad Tibi, Chairman of the Ta'al party and a Knesset Member. David posted the video on social media, where he is heard saying, "I am here with the sister of Shin Bet chief David Zini, the heroine here. We are waiting for Ahmad Tibi to block him. In memory of Arafat, we are blocking him here together with the heroine sister of David Zini." Haimov added, "I am here on behalf of 'Noam L'Yisrael,' a candidate on behalf of 'Noam L'Yisrael,' but it is nice to know that God willing, we will work together for many more years."

Haimov is ranked fifth on the "Noam L'Yisrael" party list for the Knesset. The party is headed by Knesset Member Avi Maoz, who previously served as Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Office. According to polls, the party is not expected to pass the electoral threshold. In August, Maoz announced the addition of Yiska Haimov and Liora Allon to his list, stating they were "quality and experienced women" who had worked for education, society, settlement, and the public in Israel, bringing "extensive experience, public and value-based action, and proven ability to lead and influence." He added that their joining was part of an effort to broaden the party's base and make it a political home for a wide public seeking to return Jewish identity and values to the center of public activity.
