Younger MKs secure top spots in Labor’s primary, while ministers Omer Barlev and Nachman Shai will likely be bumped from the 25th Knesset.
Lawmakers Naama Lazimi, Gilad Kariv, Efrat Rayten, Ram Shefa, and Emilie Moatti clinch the second-through-sixth spots behind Labor party leader Merav Michaeli.
Placing seventh on the list, newcomer Yaya Fink wins the highest spot for a new candidate. Labor is currently polling at between five and six seats, placing him within striking range of a seat if Labor’s position improves.
Ibtisam Mara’ana, a sometimes controversial MK who held the seventh spot on the 2021 slate, has fallen to eighth place.
Public Security Minister Barlev takes a huge hit, falling from the second spot in the previous election to the ninth one in the upcoming vote — possibly in connection with his various gaffes.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
