Yitzhak Ze'ev Pindrus (Hebrew: יִצְחָק זְאֵב פִּינְדְרוֹס, born 20 July 1971) is an Israeli politician currently serving as a member of the Knesset for United Torah Judaism.
[3] After his election defeat as mayor of Beitar Illit, Pindrus moved back to the Old City of Jerusalem, where he lives with his wife and six children.
[9] He re-entered the Knesset in June 2020 as a replacement for Meir Porush, who had resigned under the Norwegian Law after being appointed to the cabinet.
[10][11] Pindrus later apologized on Israel's Channel 12 for his use of the term "shiksa" when referring to women who converted to Judaism through the IDF.
Pidrus was reportedly criticized by MK Yair Lapid, who responded that Pindrus' view was reflective of his ignorance of the commitment of these women to preserving Jewish life in Israel.
Pindrus cited the Torah as the reason why he opposes homosexuality, claiming that the "decadence of forbidden relationships" is a bigger threat to Israel than the Islamic State, Hamas and Hezbollah.
