Biography

Yaron Levi was born in Bat Yam on 29 August 1981. Before entering politics, he was a member of the Israeli Judo team, and won both the Israel Judo Championship and the IJF Junior World Tour in 2000, before quitting in 2002 due to injuries.

In 2018, Levy was elected to the Bat Yam City Council as a member of Yesh Atid, and also served as its deputy Mayor, holding the Sports, Young Persons and Beaches portfolios. On 2021 Israeli legislative election, he was placed on 30th spot, but was not elected as Yesh Atid only won seventeen seats.
