Dozens of political parties have submitted their candidate lists to the Central Elections Committee for the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. The submissions mark the official closing of the party lists, with hundreds of candidates vying for seats in Israel's parliament. The submitted lists include major parties such as Likud, the Religious Zionism party, Shas, United Torah Judaism, Yisrael Beiteinu, and Blue and White, as well as smaller factions and new parties.
Notable candidates on various lists include figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Gadi Eisenkot, whose placements on their respective party lists will be closely watched. The Joint List, a predominantly Arab political alliance, has also submitted its candidates, featuring prominent members like Ahmad Tibi and Ofer Cassif. Other parties submitting lists include Ra'am, Labor, and Meretz, alongside numerous smaller groups with diverse platforms, ranging from religious and nationalist to centrist and single-issue parties.
