Political career
Prior to the 2015 Knesset elections she was placed 23rd on the Likud list,[4] a slot reserved for a candidate chosen by Netanyahu.[5] She was elected to the Knesset as Likud won 30 seats.[6] In February 2016, she claimed that the term 'Palestine' is borrowed as Arabic does not have a 'p' sound.[7] In August 2018 she proposed a bill to ban displays of the Palestinian flag, with violators facing up to one year in prison.[8]
Berko was moved down to forty-sixth place on the Likud list for the April 2019 elections. Likud won 35 seats, resulting in Berko losing her place in the Knesset.
