Biography
Halevi was born in Haifa in 1971 and was educated at Yavneh High School in Haifa and the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva in Jerusalem. During his service in the Israel Defense Forces, he served in the 7th Armored Brigade (Israel). He went on to become leader of the software team at Check Point. He graduated from the School of Public Policy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and later jointly established the Jewish Statesmanship Center with Assaf Malakh.
He was placed thirty-sixth on the Likud list for the April 2019 elections,[1] but the party won only 35 seats. He was placed thirty-ninth for the September 2019 elections,[2] in which Likud won 32 seats. Although he missed out again in the March 2020 elections in which he was placed thirty-ninth and Likud won 36 seats, he entered the Knesset on 30 July 2020 as a replacement for Amir Ohana, who had resigned his seat under the Norwegian Law after being appointed to the cabinet.
