Sitting Israeli Knesset Member Becomes First To Give Birth
For the first time ever, a sitting Israeli Knesset member has given birth while in office.
Yisrael Beiteinu lawmaker Anastassia Michaeli gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday. It is her eighth child.
Michaeli is not entitled to receive maternity leave due to the rules of the parliament’s legal counsel.
Before she gave birth, she said in an interview that she was planning to continue working, although would hope to work from home initially. She also said that she intended to take her baby to plenum meetings.
