Early Life and Education

Oren Hazan (44 years old) was born on 28 October 1981 in Ariel, a settlement in the West Bank, to an Israeli-Jewish family with strong ties to politics. His father, Yehiel Hazan, served as a Likud Knesset member (2003–2006), which influenced Oren’s interest in public life from a young age.

He completed his national service in the Israeli Air Force, later studying law at the Ono Academic College in Kiryat Ono, where he was elected Chairman of the Student Union. His time in student leadership helped establish his reputation as a vocal and ambitious young political figure.

Personal Life

Oren Hazan married Rinat Kotkovsky on 12 February 2017 in a high-profile wedding attended by politicians, celebrities, and media figures. The couple resides in Ariel, West Bank, and have one son, born in 2019.

Career

Oren Hazan entered the Knesset in March 2015 as part of the Likud Party list, occupying the 30th position, which was reserved for a young candidate. Likud’s strong electoral performance gave him a seat.

Initially, he was appointed to several committees, including the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, but was removed after multiple conduct violations. In 2017, he was appointed Deputy Coalition Chairman, though his time in that role was similarly short-lived due to repeated ethical infractions.

Throughout his tenure, Hazan became a fixture in Israeli media — both for his political statements and his theatrical presence in the Knesset. His outspoken approach often clashed with party leadership, and he was eventually barred from several sessions due to disciplinary rulings.

After leaving the Knesset in 2019, Hazan continued to appear in Israeli television programs and political commentary platforms. He launched brief campaigns for local office, positioning himself as a populist voice advocating for “ordinary Israelis” and greater accountability in government.

Net Worth

Oren Hazan’s estimated net worth is between USD 2 – 3 million. His wealth comes from a combination of his political career, family assets, and past business activities.

Controversy

Before entering the Knesset, Israeli media uncovered reports alleging his involvement in casino operations in Bulgaria, where he was accused by Channel 2 of arranging prostitutes and using drugs—claims he denied but that damaged his public image.

He was also convicted in 2019 of assaulting a municipal official during a dispute in Ariel and was sentenced to 100 hours of community service.

During his Knesset tenure, he faced multiple Ethics Committee suspensions for personal insults, inflammatory comments, and confrontations with fellow lawmakers. In 2018, he infamously called a disabled MK “half a human” and later apologized publicly after national outrage.
