Who will be the longest-serving MK and who is the youngest MK in the 26th Knesset

With the removal of Moshe Gafni from the Degel HaTorah list, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to become the longest-serving MK in the 26th Knesset. The youngest MK is expected to be Yonatan Shalev from Bichd, aged 24, and the oldest is Minister Haim Katz from Likud, aged 79.

With the removal of Moshe Gafni from the Degel HaTorah list, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to become the longest-serving MK in the 26th Knesset. Netanyahu was first elected in 1988 and has served in the Knesset for over three decades cumulatively. In the past, the role of the longest-serving MK carried real weight, as he chaired plenum sessions until a permanent speaker was elected, but this procedure was abolished. Currently, outgoing Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana continues to chair sessions. However, the longest-serving MK retains one privilege: an office twice the size. The youngest MK is expected to be Yonatan Shalev from Bichd, aged 24, placed tenth on the list. The oldest MK is expected to be Minister Haim Katz from Likud, aged 79.
