The members of the 25th Knesset were elected on 1 November 2022[1] and sworn in on 15 November.[2] As of July 2026[update], this list reflects the current composition of the Knesset, incorporating changes resulting from resignations, replacements under the Norwegian Law, and other personnel shifts since the election.
Composition
[edit]Three Druze lawmakers[failed verification], 29 women, 23 new MKs and three openly gay MKs were elected to the 25th Knesset.[3] The number of Arab MKs from Arab parties was the lowest in two decades, with 10 MKs.[4]
On 30 June 2024, the Israeli Labor Party announced plans to merge with Meretz to become The Democrats,[5] with Labor MKs expected to become MKs for the new party; the merger was approved on 12 July.[6] However, Likud MK and chair of the Knesset House Committee Ofir Katz denied the February 2025 request by Labor chairwoman Efrat Rayten to change the name of the Knesset faction to The Democrats and she withdrew it.[7]
On 11 November 2024 Hadash-Ta'al MK Ofer Cassif was suspended from the Knesset for six months for supporting South Africa's genocide case against Israel.[8]
