Dalia Itzik broke two barriers in Israeli politics: in 2006 she became the first woman to serve as speaker of the Knesset, and the following year she briefly served as acting president of Israel, the first woman to hold that role even temporarily. She held several ministerial posts over a long career as a Knesset member for Kadima.
