Barkat and Gamliel were already on their way home, Ram Ben Barak fantasized about the Knesset - and then the real results arrived

The real results of the elections for the 26th Knesset are changing the picture within the parties. In Likud, Barkat and Gamliel, who feared for their seats, may enter thanks to the party's strengthening. In Bennett's Together, on the other hand, the party drops from 14 seats in polls to 11, and Shiri and Ben Barak may be left out.

The real results of the elections for the 26th Knesset are changing the balance of power within the parties. In Likud, Nir Barkat, Gila Gamliel, and Eli Goldschmidt, who feared for their seats in the Knesset throughout the election campaign due to grim polls, may enter thanks to the party's strengthening. On the other hand, in Naftali Bennett's Together party, which expected 14 seats according to polls, now stands at only 11. Naor Shiri and Ram Ben Barak, who hoped to continue their parliamentary careers, may be left out of the next Knesset. The article describes the irony that Likud candidates who had already written themselves off may receive a renewed entry ticket, while in Together, those who had already planned their first day in the Knesset will have to wait. The vote count is still ongoing.
