Blue and White MKs Yoaz Hendel, Orna Barbivai, Pnina Tamano-Shata and Gadeer Kamal-Mreeh present the party’s slate to the Central Elections Committee ahead of the midnight deadline.
“Our list is made of up excellent people who have come to represent the people of Israel,” Tamano-Shatta says.
The list is almost identical to the last election but the party announced earlier that it will fill the 33rd slot on its electoral slate vacated by MK Gadi Yevarkan with “a new candidate to represent the Russian sector,” former military correspondent Andre Kushnov.

Yevarkan is slated to run with the Likud party as No. 20 on its slate, assuming his cross-party transfer overcomes legal hurdles.
In addition, Michal Cotler-Wunsh from the Telem faction, the faction Yevarkan represented, will be bumped from slot 46 to 36.
