As vote counting continues for the 26th Knesset elections, preliminary results show a surprising outcome between two minor parties. The "Chain for Love and People's Unity" list, led by candidate שרשר המלך, has garnered 343 votes so far. This figure surpasses the 127 votes received by "Israel First," headed by former Knesset member שרן השכל.
The difference of 216 votes is notable given השכל's prior parliamentary experience, while שרשר המלך is primarily known as a candidate for a smaller electoral list. Both parties are currently below the 3.25% electoral threshold required to enter the Knesset.
Among other parties that have not yet crossed the threshold, the list of יועז הנדל and ירון זליכה leads with 28,125 votes. Following them is עופר וינטר's party, which has received 17,442 votes. Other lists, such as "The Haredi Public" with 2,003 votes and "Noam for Israel" with 1,505 votes, lag significantly behind.
These are interim results and may change as more votes are tallied. However, at this stage, none of these parties are projected to meet the minimum vote requirement for Knesset representation.
