At the head of the list is Minister Bezalel Smotrich, followed immediately by Moshe Feiglin in accordance with an agreement reached with Zehut.
Minister Orit Struck was placed in third place, followed by Simcha Rotman, Zvika Mor, Itamar Eitam, Zvi Sukkot, Yitzhak Zaga, Reut Ben Haim, Omer Patsinyash, Arkady Mutter, Ohad Tal, Roy Kirshberg, Omer Rahamim, Sima Hasson, Michal Waldiger, Shiral Nahir Lalum, Shmuel Sasson, Iris Bernstein and Zvika Vishingard.
The redistribution of seats led to significant shifts among the incumbent Knesset members: Education Committee Chairman Zvi Sukkot is placed in seventh place - a position considered to have a chance of entry if the current coalition forms the next government. On the other hand, MK Ohad Tal was relegated to 12th place - which is defined as unrealistic.
MK Ohad Tal commented on his new position on the list: "Following the connection with Moshe Feiglin's Zehut Party and today's new Sherionim, I moved to 12th place on the final list that will be submitted today to the Elections Committee. But despite the personal cost, I fully support the party chairman, Minister Smotrich, and stand behind him with all my might. In the hope that these moves will strengthen the party and the entire national camp - will diversify the list, allow it to appeal to new audiences and bring as many votes as possible to the right.".
During the day, Minister Smotrich announced the addition of new candidates to the list, including Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Itamar Eitam, commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the Bisal Brigade, who fought in Gaza and Lebanon and was even seriously injured during the fighting.
Also included on the list was Reut Ben Haim, a resident of Netivot, social activist and founder of the "Order 9" movement.
