Timeline
Orit Malka Strook (אוֹרִית מַלְכָּה סְטְרוֹק, born 15 March 1960) is an Israeli politician.
In the late 1970s, while she was in the 11th grade, Strook gradually became more religious; she eventually became a ba’alat teshuva and embraced Orthodox Judaism.
During that period, she began studying at the religious Zionist Machon Meir yeshiva and outreach organization.
Shortly thereafter, she married Avraham Strook, a student of Rabbi Haim Drukman.
The young couple briefly lived in the settlement of Yamit in the Sinai Peninsula, but, after the Sinai was handed over to Egypt in 1982 as part of the terms of the 1979 peace treaty and Yamit was evacuated, Strook and her family joined the Jewish settler community in Hebron.
After the Cave of the Patriarchs was closed to Jewish worshippers following the 1994 massacre, Strook was elected as the head of the Women's Committee for the Cave (ועד נשים למען המערה), and worked to convince the political system to re-open the Cave for Jewish visitors.
Since 2000, she has headed the legal-political department of the organization of Jewish settlers in Hebron.
Following the Israeli government's 2002 evacuation of a family of Jewish settlers from an area of Kiryat Arba, Strook founded the Human Rights Organization of Judea and Samaria to advocate for settlers.
Strook is also among the leaders of the Jewish settlement in Hebron, and she established the Israeli non-governmental organization Human Rights Organization of Judea and Samaria, which she headed between 2004 and 2012.
Orit Cohen (later Strook) was born to a family of lawyers from Jerusalem.
Her middle name Malka was given to her in memory of her grandmother, the Hungarian Jewish poet Mária Kecskeméti.
Growing up, Strook studied at the Hebrew University Secondary School.
Strook was placed thirteenth on the joint National Union–National Religious Party list for the 2006 elections, but failed to win a seat as the alliance won only nine seats.
In 2007, Strook's son Zvi was convicted of abusing a Palestinian boy and killing a young goat, and spent thirty months in an Israeli prison as a result.
In response to the ruling, Strook stated that, "Unlike the Court, who preferred to believe the Arab witnesses, we are sure of Zvi's innocence, and are hurting from the success of his haters and would assist him to deal with the difficult sentence imposed on him".
She serves as the Minister of Settlements and National Missions in the thirty-seventh government, and is a member of the Knesset for the National Religious Party–Religious Zionism, and served as member of the Knesset for Tkuma (a faction within the Jewish Home) between 2013 and 2015.
As of 2013, Strook is a resident of the Avraham Avinu settlement in the occupied West Bank.
She has eleven children and twelve grandchildren.
In the 2013 elections, Strook was elected to the Knesset on The Jewish Home list.
She was among the Knesset's most vehement opponents to recognition of non-Orthodox movements of Judaism.
She was placed thirteenth on the party's list for the 2015 elections, losing her seat as the party was reduced to eight seats.
For the 2021 elections, Strook was placed fifth on Religious Zionist Party's list and returned to the Knesset, as the alliance won six seats.
In December 2022, Strook suggested that doctors could refuse to treat gay people if it conflicted with their religious beliefs.
