The 26th Knesset is set to include 25 Members of Knesset (MKs) from the Religious Zionist sector, a decrease from the 29 who served in the 25th Knesset. Ten new MKs from this sector will be entering the Knesset for the first time. From the Likud party, Elisha Medan and David Peter, placed high on the party's list, will join. The Yamina party will see four new Religious Zionist MKs: Yoram Cohen, Shira Shapira, Tal Ohana, and Elisef Peretz. The Religious Zionist party itself will welcome two new MKs, Zvika Mor and Itamar Itam, who were placed on the list by Bezalel Smotrich. Rafi Ben Shitrit and Sharon Sharabi will enter the Knesset from the Yisrael Beiteinu party. Yaya Fink from the Democratic Party and Hananiel Dorfman from Otzma Yehudit will also be first-time MKs.
Moshe Feiglin, who previously served as an MK for two years, is returning to the Knesset after a decade, representing the Zehut party.
