After the establishment of the state, she studied the humanities at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 1972, she was first elected to the Knesset, where she served for 19 years on behalf of the Likud party and the Tehiyah party, which was one of its founders. Geula fought hard for Jewish settlement, for the Aliyah of Jews from the Soviet Union and Ethiopia, and led to the enactment of the "Basic Law of Jerusalem" and the "Golan Law."
