Television personality Anastasia Michaeli is planning to join Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home), moving from Kadima, where she was ranked 44 on the party list prior to the last elections. A second TV presenter, Orli Levy, joined the party several days earlier.
Michaeli, 33, immigrated to Israel from Russia in 1997. She has a masters degree in electronic engineering and has seven children, with an eighth on the way.
