  "account": "At just 29 years old, Hiyam Taha, a pharmacist from Gaza, has made a bold move into politics. Taha, a member of the Palestinian Pharmacists Association, has been working in the medical humanitarian field and has witnessed firsthand the collapsing healthcare system that affects Palestinian civilians. Frustrated by the lack of opportunities for women and young people in politics, Taha decided to run for the Legislative Council, aligning herself with the New Path party. She aims to be the voice of patients and young people who have no one to represent their interests and to advocate for a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders. Taha envisions a democratic and peaceful future for Palestinians, where they can live without interference and have a say in decisions that impact their lives.",
  "summary": "In an interview with the Post, Hiyam Taha explained why she is seeking to enter politics and how she hopes to improve the future of the Palestinian people.",
