As the counting of regular ballots concludes, the distribution of Knesset seats is becoming clearer, though final results are pending. The Likud party currently stands at 26 mandates, indicating that former Knesset member Eli Goldschmidt is likely to return to parliament. However, media personality and "Im Tirtzu" founder Erez Tadmor, positioned at number 27 on the list, may not secure a seat.
In the "Yisrael Beiteinu" party, which has garnered 21 mandates, social entrepreneur Yafa Tabeja has secured a place in the Knesset. This means retired Colonel Nir Hagbi, ranked 22nd, will not be part of the party's faction.
The "Together" party is projected to receive 12 mandates, with former Knesset member and ex-deputy Mossad chief Ram Ben-Barak set to enter the Knesset. Amir Strogo, CEO of the "Acharei!" movement, is likely to miss out.
Former Meretz MK Michal Rozin is expected to return to the Knesset from the 8th spot on "HaDemocratim"'s list. Conversely, Moshe Radman, a prominent leader of the Kaplan protest, may not enter the Knesset as he is ranked 9th.
For "Otzma Yehudit," Hanamel Dorfman, an associate of Itamar Ben-Gvir, is expected to fill the final seat, leaving former MK Tzachi Eliyahu, ranked 8th, outside the Knesset.
In the "Religious Zionism and Identity" party, the founder of the "Miluimnikim - Victory Generation" movement is projected to enter the Knesset at the 6th position. This outcome suggests that former MK Zvi Sukkot might not be returning to the Knesset this term.
