The deadline for submitting electoral lists to the Central Elections Committee for the 26th Knesset is Tuesday afternoon. The submission period, which began earlier, is set to conclude at 10 PM, though the committee chairman, Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, may extend it. Several major parties are expected to submit their lists today, including Likud, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the tripartite Joint List comprising the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality, the Arab Movement for Change, and the National Democratic Assembly. Shas, led by Aryeh Deri, and United Torah Judaism are also anticipated to file their candidacies. The Religious Zionism party, headed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, will submit its list, which includes former Knesset member Moshe Feiglin. This comes amid delays in Likud's candidate list, with Netanyahu yet to reveal all his choices for reserved spots. On Monday, the committee received submissions from several other parties, including Naftali Bennett's Yamina, Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu, Gadi Eisenkot's The Israelis, the United Arab List led by Dr. Mansour Abbas, Yair Golan's The Democrats, Ofir Winter's Amcha Israel, Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit, Talal Al-Qarinawi's Partnership for All, the King Sharshar list, and the Pirates.
