Haifa Member of Knesset Naama Lazimi announced that she is leaving Haifa and moving to live with her husband and children in Holon. In a post on social networks, she explains the difficulty of combining work as a Knesset member and raising small children and the hope that she will be able to handle both roles more easily thanks to living in Holon.

Lazimi entered the Knesset for the first time in June 2021 in the previous Knesset, when former minister Omar Bar-Lev resigned from the Knesset in accordance with Norwegian law. In the most recent primaries for the Labor Party, she came in first place (second only to the party's chairman, Merav Michaeli). As a member of the Knesset, she is associated with social struggles such as the struggle against raising the retirement age and the evacuation of Givat Amal B, which are a direct continuation of the struggles she led as part of her activities in organizing Power to the employees.
Before the Knesset, Zimi was a city council member in the faction of the mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem. In the last municipal elections in October 2018, the Labor faction led by Avi Gabbai supported Kalish Rotem and its faction "Haim in Haifa" and Zimi joined the list. She served as a city council member, until she was elected to the Knesset As a member of the city council, she took care of the direct employment of the cleaning workers in the municipality and led a decision to issue a family certificate to the public.
Lazimi was born in Migdal Ha'Emek and came to Haifa to study at Haifa University. Along with her studies, she engaged in voluntary and political activities. She always emphasized her love for the city. Throughout her journey, she always tried to strengthen those who needed strengthening, and in particular she always put the disadvantaged workers in the center.
Lazimi is 37 years old and a mother of two small children. Throughout her activity as a member of the Knesset, she shared her difficulty in being an active partner in raising the children and also fulfilling the challenging role she took on. In the end she made a decision that it would be easier to fulfill both roles if her family lived in Holon, near her husband Avi's family. Lazimi, who was born in Migdal Ha'Emek, is very identified with Haifa, so the decision to leave it, even if temporarily, was very complex for her.
An honor to serve the public in front of the little children at home
"These two years were really stormy and difficult," Lazimi writes in a post on the social network, in which she explains the need to move to Holon, "On the one hand, there is no greater honor and privilege than serving the public, being elected by it and working for a better society and the Israel that we want and want to see here. And yes , with all the difficulty - precisely at this time and precisely my generation, which needs to enter the political arena and take responsibility, build, heal and repair. On the other hand, when I was sworn in to the Israeli Knesset, Arel Zion was six months old, and Rona Esther was three and a half years old, small children with a longing for their mother who was absent for days in a row in never-ending filibusters and a mother who is torn from the inside every day."
Lazimi explains the choice of Holon, and the advantage of living closer to Jerusalem compared to Haifa "Now that our eldest is starting first grade, we realized that it had to be done, it had to be this year. Where will we move? To Holon. Why? Because my father's parents and brothers, my beloved, live there, We will have help and this brings me at least halfway to the Knesset, which means that I will be able to see the children every morning, prepare them for the frames and not leave the house long before they wake up and return long after they fall asleep."
Lazimi is one of three Knesset members from Haifa - she leaves us with MK Ariel Kellner from the Likud and Ayman Oda from Hadash. At the end of her post, she promises that leaving the city is temporary and we can only hope that it will indeed be so.
Very well, even so, you didn't contribute anything to the city. I said that everyone who touches or sits in a chair forgets why shame and disgust came.
Elected and has been standing at the same spot ever since and screaming nonsense
Less leftist in Haifa.
Who is this anyway? I didn't even know there was such a name. You give her a stage. Why? The Labor Party barely passed the percentage of obstruction.
But unfortunately, the mayor is also from the labor party and the third world country that has been here in recent years.
Socialists who are not aware of their socialism.
Hahahahaha next term you will see the Knesset on TV. So what's the story. Be honest and say you want to move to the state of Tel Aviv
The residents of Haifa will agree to finance her 2 apartments in Holon. Provided that in the second you will live a cliché.
Blessed that we got rid of her punishment. A vulgar and forceful woman. Poor husband. He must be kidnapping her. Throughout the months of protest, her wickedness was revealed in all its glory. Her verbal violence and disrespect to Knesset members and the Knesset and especially to the government and its leader. I hope she will not return to Haifa.
Opportunistic - like all the members of Klish's list who disappeared
Check all the people who were photographed in the 2018 elections disappeared from the list, this says everything about her human relations, there is not one left of them.
I wonder how many of them also left the city..

The Labor Party does not pass the threshold in any survey, so luckily for it and its members in the Labor Party, this right-wing government is stable with 64 seats, so by the end of the term, it will be able to earn a salary of 45,000 per month, and by a quick calculation, in a 4-year term, it will earn about NIS 2,100,000 and can then go back to shopping and buy Here is a new apartment in "Cash Money" without a mortgage at all.
She and her friends just have to pray that no surprise will happen and the government and the salary will fall...
Haifa is considered a periphery of Holon, the central region, and Zimi believes that there is more political promotion there that will disturb her.
It's a shame that she turned to the Knesset, where she has less influence.
Could have been the mayor...
Mahteba understands that she is leaving because of the distance and not because of the city itself, as may be understood from the article.
A good Knesset member, it's a shame that she chose the bankrupt Labor party that will automatically disappear from the political map, it's better that she move to Likud where I think she can act socially for the citizens in a more natural slot.
What will the socialist find there?
