A. Haneen Zoabi
B. Iman Khatib-Yasin
C. Hussniya Jabara
D. Hiba
Correct Answer: B. Iman Khatib-Yasin

The Israeli Parliament, known as the Knesset, saw a historic moment in 2020. Iman Khatib-Yasin became the first Muslim woman wearing a hijab to be elected as a Member of the Knesset. She was elected as part of the United Arab List (Ra'am) party, marking a significant step for representation in Israeli politics.

  • Haneen Zoabi was a prominent Arab-Israeli politician and the first female Arab citizen to be elected to the Knesset on an Arab party's list, but she did not wear a hijab and was elected earlier.
  • Hussniya Jabara was the first Arab woman elected to the Knesset in 1999, but she was Druze and did not wear a hijab.
  • Hiba is a generic name and not associated with this specific historical achievement.
