Gilat Bennett

In February 2022, she made an address at the International Women's Day ceremony in the Knesset and spoke about her self-fulfillment as a woman with a career and children.

After about five years in New York, the couple returned to Israel. Bennett opened an ice cream factory in Kfar Saba called Gilati, and sold it following the birth of their eldest son. Subsequently, she was certified at the Adler Institute as a parent counselor and sleep consultant, which are her current occupations as of 2021.

In November 2021, Gilat Bennett made her debut as the Prime Minister's wife at an event marking the International Day for the Prevention of Violence against Women, which was held at the Knesset. In her speech she emphasized the need for early prevention of cases.

In December 2021, Bennett caused a stir when she went on vacation abroad with her children, contrary to her husband's recommendation to the Israeli public not to fly abroad unnecessarily to prevent the penetration of the Omicron virus into Israel.

Gilat married Naftali in 1999 when he was a law student at the Hebrew University. The couple moved to Jerusalem and then Beit Aryeh. With the rise of the startup company Cyota that was run by Naftali, the couple moved to New York. In New York, Gilat studied at the International Culinary Center and worked as a dessert chef at several restaurants. She then began living a religious lifestyle, following her husband.

Gilat Ethel Bennett (Hebrew: גילת אתל בנט; née Einav; born 12 May 1977) is an Israeli pastry chef and parent counselor who is the wife of former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
