The American doctor Adam Havi, who took part in treating the victims of the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, won a seat in the House of Representatives from New Jersey. Based on the results of the midterm elections held on November 3, 2026, Democrat Adam Hamawi won the election to the US House of Representatives from New Jersey's 12th congressional district.
The Associated Press declared him the winner after receiving about 74% of the vote, comfortably beating the Republican representative.
Hamawi officially became the first Muslim to represent New Jersey in the US Congress, as well as the first person of Egyptian descent in the House of Representatives.
Mission in Gaza: As a plastic surgeon and reconstructor, he volunteered in the Gaza Strip in 2024 and 2025 to provide aid to the victims. This experience, according to Hamawi himself, is what motivated him to go into politics.
