The Joint List has secured two seats on the 26th Knesset's Finance Committee as part of parliamentary understandings regarding the distribution of seats in temporary committees. These committees will operate until a new government is formed and permanent parliamentary committees are established.
The allocation occurred concurrently with the Knesset plenum's approval of the organizing committee, which will manage parliamentary work and determine the composition of various committees. The organizing committee, chaired by MK Roee Folkman of the Yachad party led by Gadi Eisenkot, comprises 22 members. The Likud party received five seats, Yachad secured four, while the Joint List, the United Arab List, the Beiteinu party, and the Democrats each obtained two seats. Other parties received one seat each.
In the temporary Finance Committee, the Joint List secured two seats. MK Liran Avisar Ben Horin from the Beiteinu party was appointed to chair this committee. The Finance Committee is a central parliamentary body responsible for discussing the state budget, financial and tax policies, approving budget transfers, and monitoring economic and financial matters.
The Joint List's representation on the Finance Committee reflects its bloc size in the 26th Knesset, where it holds 11 seats. The Knesset plenum approved the formation of the organizing committee with a majority of 63 votes to 50, enabling it to begin arranging temporary parliamentary bodies ahead of the new government's formation.
