Biography
Atiya was born in Lod in 1960 into a family that had immigrated from Djerba in Tunisia.[2] She attended Bar-Ilan University, where she earned a BA in social science and an MA in internal auditing. She also studied for an LLB at Ono Academic College.[2] During the late 1980s she began working for the National Union of Israel Aerospace Industries Employees. In 1993 she was appointed chief of staff to the union's secretary,[2] Haim Katz. When Katz was appointed Minister of Labor, Welfare and Social Services in 2015, she left the union to become his chief of staff.[2][3]
In the build-up to the April 2019 elections, Atiya was placed twenty-first on the Likud list,[4] the slot reserved for Gush Dan.[3] She was elected to the Knesset as Likud won 36 seats. She was subsequently re-elected in September 2019, March 2020 and March 2021, but lost her seat in the 2022 elections after being placed thirty-fifth on the Likud list.
