Yinon Azulai (Hebrew: יִנּוּן אָזוּלַאי, born 10 July 1979) is an Israeli politician. He is currently a member of the Knesset for Shas.
Political career[edit]
Azulai was sixteenth on the Shas list for the 2015 Knesset elections,[1] but failed to become a Knesset member when Shas won seven seats.
In March 2018, he entered the Knesset as a replacement for his father, Minister of Religious Services David Azulai,[2] who had resigned from the Knesset under the Norwegian Law.[3]
After a minor earthquake occurred in the Haifa June 2018, Azulai claimed that the earthquake came as a result of Reform and Conservative Jews efforts to build a pluralistic prayer area at the Western Wall, including a new area for women. Azulai further stated that Jews who supported such efforts were not actual Jews.[4]
