As election signs are taken down and campaign flags are folded, Israeli political parties are working to translate votes into Knesset seats. While the elections have concluded, key questions remain regarding the formation of the next government and who will serve as prime minister. Alongside veteran politicians, the upcoming Knesset may see a significant influx of newcomers from various fields, including security, entrepreneurship, social activism, local government, and families of fallen soldiers and hostages.
Preliminary lists, based on exit polls, reveal potential new faces entering national politics. For the Likud party, Tali (Taliq) Guili, mother of a soldier killed and whose body was abducted on October 7th, is positioned ninth. Political commentator Yaakov Bardugo is eleventh. Elisha Medan, a reservist who lost both legs in Gaza, is fifteenth, and lawyer David Peter, who represented the government in High Court petitions, is sixteenth.
Other parties are also set to bring new figures to the Knesset. For "Yashar!", former Shin Bet head Yoram Cohen is listed second, and social entrepreneur Adi Altshuler is fourth. "Yachad" features former Ministry of Finance director-general Kerem Turner at third place and former Northern Corps commander, Major General (res.) Noam Tivon, at sixth.
"Yisrael Beiteinu" has former Beit She'an mayor Rafi Ben Shitrit at second, and former deputy head of the National Security Council for counter-terrorism, Talia Lankri, at third. The "Democrats" list includes former "Lobby 99" founder Yair (Yaya) Fink at fifth, and former "Brothers in Arms" leader Omri Ronen at seventh. Religious parties also present new candidates, such as Tzviqa Mor, chairman of the "Tehila Forum" and father of a hostage, for "Religious Zionism - Identity" at fifth, and Hanamel Dorfman, former chief of staff to the Minister of National Security, for "Otzma Yehudit" at seventh.
