Local New York politicians are reportedly considering Mazi Melesa Pilip, an Ethiopian Jew who came to Israel as a refugee and served in the IDF’s Tzanchanim Paratrooper’s Brigade, to replace George Santos’ congressional seat. Pilip was recently elected to her first seat as a Republican legislator for Nassau County, Long Island’s 10th district. Officials of the Nassau County Republican party called on Santos to resign after it was revealed that he had lied about his education, career, and charitable work, as well as his Jewish descent and Holocaust survivor grandparents. Santos won the swing district from a decade of Democratic control in a close election, and is currently standing by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California, who narrowly won his speakership.
