Biography


Nava Boker was born and raised in Pardes Hanna-Karkur. Her parents were Jewish immigrants from Yemen. A journalist by profession, Boker worked for both Yedioth Ahronoth and Ma'ariv, as well as Channel 1. She married and had two daughters, then divorced. At age 27, as a reporter, she met Hadera police chief Lior Boker, and married him. Due to difficulties with obtaining a marriage certificate from the Israeli rabbinate, she married Boker in what she described as an "alternative marriage."[1] In 2010 her husband was killed in the Mount Carmel forest fire.[2] She subsequently established a foundation to support fire and rescue workers.[3]


Prior to the 2015 Knesset elections she was placed 25th on the Likud list.[4] She was elected to the Knesset as Likud won 30 seats.[5]


Boker lives in Hadera and has two daughters.
