Party funding for the elections to the 26th Knesset will cost taxpayers 300 million shekels, according to calculations by the economic daily Calcalist. Five lists — Likud, Religious Zionism, Otzma Yehudit, Yahadut HaTorah, and Avoda-MERETZ — ran in the elections with a technical split into two parties, increasing state expenses by 12.8 million shekels. The cost of the departure of 54 MKs reaches 11.5 million shekels. Each departing MK is entitled to an adaptation allowance of up to six monthly salaries (about 52,000 shekels per month), i.e., up to 312,000 shekels. The right to the allowance arises after the second year of work. 20 MKs with seniority will receive the maximum allowance of about 312,000 shekels. Among them are Yuli Edelstein, May Golan, Galit Distel-Atbaryan, Idit Silman, Keti Shitrit (Likud), Meir Cohen, Miki Levi, Karin Elharar, Michal Shir, Yorai Lahav-Hertzano (Yesh Atid), Benny Gantz, Alon Shuster, Michael Biton (Kahol Lavan), Merav Michaeli (Avoda), Uri Maklev, Yaakov Tesler (Yahadut HaTorah), Uriel Busso, Moshe Abutbul (SHAS), and Evgeny Sova (Yisrael Beiteinu). Seven MKs will receive 260,000 shekels, 14 will receive about 156,000, one will receive 148,000, and three will receive about 143,000. Five departing MKs are not entitled to an allowance because they have served less than a year. The article also describes the mechanism of party funding, current funding, and party debts, including Kahol Lavan's debt of 11.7 million shekels.
