- Kaplan protest leader Moshe Radman is likely to miss out on a Knesset seat.

As the counting of ordinary votes concludes, the composition of the next Knesset is becoming clearer, though final results are pending. For the Likud party, with 26 projected seats, former Knesset member Eli Goldschmidt is expected to return to parliament, while media figure and "If You Want" movement founder Erez Tadmor, ranked 27th, may miss out. On the "Yashar!" list, projected for 21 seats, social activist Yaffa Taba'ja has secured a spot, meaning reserve Colonel Nir Hajbi, at 22nd, is unlikely to enter the Knesset. The "Together" party, currently at 12 seats, is set to bring former "There is a Future" member and Mossad deputy head Ram Ben Barak back to the Knesset, while "Agray!" movement director Amir Strogo is expected to remain outside. Former Meretz MK Michal Rozin is anticipated to rejoin the plenum from the eighth position on the "Democrats" list, but Kaplan protest leader Moshe Radman, ranked ninth, might not make it. Within the "Otzma Yehudit" party, Haniel Dorfman, a close associate of Itamar Ben-Gvir, is expected to join the faction from the seventh spot, potentially excluding Tzachi Eliyahu, who is ranked eighth. For the "Religious Zionism and Identity" slate, the founder of the "Reservists - Victory Generation" movement has apparently secured a Knesset seat from the sixth position, while former MK Zvi Sukkot appears to be on the outside this time.
