  "account": "Former Mossad and Shin Bet official Dvora Sharifian Bachar, a candidate on Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party list, believes Israel has the capability to defeat Iran and bring security back to the region. Speaking at Yashar's Knesset slate unveiling in Rosh Ha'ayin, Bachar emphasized that Iran was the focus of her 20-year career in the Mossad and that her party is well-positioned to win around 23 seats in the upcoming elections. Born in Tehran and smuggled out of Iran by Mossad as a child, Bachar eventually rose through the ranks of Israel's intelligence services before joining Eisenkot's party. Should her party be elected, Bachar plans to focus on Iran, national security, and education, including founding an education program to prepare high school students for service in the IDF.",
  "summary": "Now on Eisenkot’s list, she believes her party is well positioned to triumph in the October elections and “make Israel great again.”",
