Ahead of the 2026 elections, ynet hosted a discussion in its studio between MK Avichai Boaron from Likud and MK Yevgeny Sova from Yisrael Beiteinu. The two were asked about the composition of the Knesset lists, the situation in the Gaza campaign, the cost of living, the battle over the judicial system, and the attitude toward the Haredim. Boaron, in his first term, stood out on security and settlement issues and promoted a law to subordinate legal advisers to the ministry's director general. Sova, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, has served since 2019. In the discussion, Boaron claimed that a "near-complete victory" had been achieved in Gaza, and that Israel controls 70% of the Strip, while Sova said that "without Netanyahu, the result would have been better" and that the war was "ineffective." On the cost of living, Sova noted that Israel is second in the world, ahead of only Switzerland, and linked the draft law to solving the problem. Boaron emphasized the stability of the economy. On the judicial system, Boaron attacked the High Court's intervention in appointments, and Sova called for establishing a constitution. The discussion reflected political disagreements ahead of the elections.
