Biography

Knafo grew up in Jerusalem and earned a BEd at David Yellin College of Education. She moved to the Israeli settlement of Har Adar in 2005, and was elected to its council in 2008, receiving around 35% of the vote. She was re-elected in 2013 with 45% of the vote.

She joined the centrist Yesh Atid party, and after it joined the Blue and White alliance prior to the April 2019 elections, was placed forty-seventh on the alliance's list. However, it won only 35 seats. She was given the forty-fourth spot for the September 2019 elections, again failing to win a seat. Given forty-fourth place again for the March 2020 elections, she failed to win a seat, but entered the Knesset on 2 February 2021 as a replacement for Hila Vazan. She did not run for re-election in the March 2021 elections.

Knafo is married, with four children.
