Background

Hijazi was born in Nazareth.[1] He studied at the University of Haifa, completing a bachelor's degree in psychology and went on to earn a master's degree in educational psychology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He also gained a Certificate in Organizational Development from Bar-Ilan University.[2]

A member of the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement and the United Arab List,[3][4] Hijazi was placed sixteenth on the list of the Joint List (an alliance of predominantly Arab parties) for the 2015 Knesset elections.[5] Although the alliance won only 13 seats, Hijazi entered the Knesset on 20 September 2017 as a replacement for Osama Saadi as part of a rotation agreement between the parties in the alliance.[6][4] However, he resigned from the Knesset in October 2017 and was replaced by Youssef Atauna on 25 October.[6][7]
