With the deadline for submitting candidate lists for the 26th Knesset elections having passed, the political landscape is now set for the October 27 vote. A total of 38 parties have submitted their lists to the Central Elections Committee, vying for the Israeli public's support. However, current polling suggests that only 13 to 15 of these parties are realistically likely to win seats in the next Knesset.

The election features new alliances, unexpected departures, and strategic maneuvering as parties compete for every vote. The article highlights the key parties and candidates, focusing on those that have registered at least 1% of the vote in various media polls. It is important to note that the electoral threshold in Israel requires parties to secure 3.25% of the valid votes to enter the Knesset.
