Bezalel Smotrich and his wife Revital Smotrich are wed. Although he has seven kids, no one has ever given their names.
The family resided outside the Kedumim society in the West Bank in a home that was built illegally on private property and against the settlement’s master plan.
An Israeli lawmaker named Bezalel came under fire in 2016 for supporting segregation in maternity hospitals.
His suggestion that Jewish and Arab mothers in Israel’s maternity facilities be housed in separate rooms drew condemnation.
“It’s only natural that my wife wouldn’t want to lie down next to a woman who just gave birth to a baby who might want to murder her baby twenty years from now,” Bezalel Smotrich said in a post he uploaded on his Twitter account.
