A new analysis by the 5050 initiative projects a record 31 to 35 women could be elected to the next Knesset. However, the number of women in the governing coalition could drastically differ, with only seven expected if the current bloc wins, but 24 if the opposition forms the government. The Likud party faces a significant drop in female representation. The organization urged voters to consider gender balance when casting their ballots.
