Original: Yashar’s Iran-born spy-turned-teacher eyes education overhaul with Knesset bid
Yashar, who was born in Iran and once worked in intelligence before becoming a teacher, is entering politics with a run for a seat in Israel's Knesset. She is centring her campaign on an overhaul of the country's education system, arguing for reform from someone with firsthand classroom experience. The story is drawing attention as an unusual path from espionage and teaching to national politics.
