 * Symbol question.svg Thanks...I enjoyed reading this and learnt many new words (well linked). New enough, no copy issues, QPQ done, long enough. Article and source says she is set to become, hook says she is...please clarify if she did become a Member of Knesset as she was set to be or is she still "set to be"? OR...alter hook accordingly.

 * Thanks for the review. The way it works in Israeli politics is that after the election, the largest party is asked to form a government, and after that's accomplished, the new Knesset will be seated. If a government isn't formed, we're back to new elections. You can't say she was elected to the Knesset, because voters vote for factions, not for individual members. I see the problem with the hook. Would it make sense to say:
 * ALT1: ... that newly-elected parliamentarian Gadeer Mreeh will be the first Druze woman to serve as a member of the Israeli Knesset? Yoninah (talk) 19:55, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg to ALT1...probably better. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:01, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
