Yael German

Yael German (Hebrew: יעל גרמן, born 4 August 1947) is an Israeli politician and diplomat who served as a member of the Knesset for Yesh Atid and the Blue and White alliance between 2013 and 2020.

German worked closely with the non-Jewish population in Israel, and showed a liberal attitude towards interfaith marriages.

She advocated for Arab residents of Gaza to be able to cross the border to visit Arab-Israeli family members.

They worked to prevent suicide in public spaces by making them safer as well as training professionals in mental health counseling.

She promoted the launch of a project to subsidize drug treatment for infiltrators and asylum seekers with HIV and AIDS.

[9] The People's Health Regulations were updated in 2001 to make it mandatory for localities with populations over 5,000 residents to have fluoride in their water.

[12] German ordered the Ministry of Health to cancel the expansion of dental treatments for children, which were supposed to come into effect in July 2013.

[13] The subsequent Minister of Health ordered the previously agreed upon dentals coverage for children to move forward.

[16] In 2022, the Israel Journal of Health Policy Research released a study titled The effect of community water fluoridation cessation on children's dental health: a national experience which concluded that lack of fluoride in the water caused a surge in tooth decay, especially in children.

It seems that CWF was stopped for political reasons, and the lack of fluoride has led to an increase in dental problems which can cause systemic health issues."

She was ranked 2nd place by The Proud Front in Members of Knesset acting for the benefit of the gay community.
