Eti Hava Atiya (Hebrew: אֶתִּי חַוָּה עַטִיָיה, born 12 February 1960)[1] is an Israeli politician currently serving as a member of the Knesset for the Likud party.
Biography
[edit]Atiya was born in Lod in 1960 to a family that had immigrated from Djerba, Tunisia.[2] She attended Bar-Ilan University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in social sciences and a master's degree in internal auditing. She also studied law (LLB) at Ono Academic College.[2]
In the late 1980s, she began working for the National Union of Israel Aerospace Industries Employees. In 1993, she was appointed chief of staff to the union's secretary, Haim Katz.[2] When Katz became Minister of Labor, Welfare and Social Services in 2015, she left the union to serve as his chief of staff.[2][3]
Ahead of the April 2019 elections, Atiya was placed twenty-first on the Likud list,[4] in the slot reserved for Gush Dan.[3] She was elected to the Knesset as Likud won 36 seats. She was subsequently re-elected in the September 2019, March 2020, and March 2021, but lost her seat in the 2022 elections after being placed thirty-fifth on the Likud list.
