Jewish Home said to offer potential lawmaker spot to 20-year-old

In its attempts to find a suitable woman for its electoral slate in the upcoming elections, the Jewish Home party has reportedly offered the post to a woman who would be the youngest-ever Israeli lawmaker by far if she accepts and is elected.

Channel 13 says the religious right-wing party has offered a high spot on the list of candidates to 20-year-old Orit Mark-Ettinger, who founded a charity in memory of her father, Rabbi Michael Mark, who was killed in a Palestinian terror attack in 2016.

The youngest-ever Knesset member was Inbal Gavrieli, who was elected in 2003 as part of the Likud party, when she was 27.

הבית היהודי מחפשים בנרות אישה שתסכים להצטרף לרשימה. בימים האחרונים הם מציעים (בואכה מתחננים) את המקום השלישי לאורית מרק-אטינגר, בת 20 (ילידת 1999), שאביה נרצח בפיגוע טרור והקימה עמותה על שמו pic.twitter.com/EFe1f00bOl
