About
May Golan: No. 40 on the list of Likud for the 26th Knesset. In previous Knessets: votes on 790 bills and attendance at 24 committee sessions. Plenum votes on bills are included up to 28 July 2026, and committee discussions up to 24 March 2026.
May Golan, born in Tel Aviv-Yafo in 1986, serves as a Member of Knesset for Likud and as Minister for Social Equality and the Advancement of the Status of Women. She stood out as an activist in the struggle against African asylum seekers in south Tel Aviv, and at a rally in 2012 said that she was "proud to be a racist" in order to protect her life. Her appointment as consul in New York in 2023 was halted due to opposition in the American administration to her statements. Since July 2025 she has been questioned under caution on suspicion of bribery, fictitious appointments, fraud and breach of trust, and refrained from appearing for some of the questioning. In the elections for the 26th Knesset she is running for Likud with Benjamin Netanyahu, at No. 40 on the list.
