Former Israeli Mazi Philip lost the elections for the seat of New York in the American Congress - voila! news. The 44-year-old Philip immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia before moving to the US.

Tonight, she lost in the special election to her Democratic opponent Tom Suzy, who held the position in the past. Following Suzy's victory, the Republicans' slim advantage in the House of Representatives will be further reduced. The two were running for a seat in New York's 3rd District, vacated by the December ouster of Republican congressman George Santos.
