      Many New Faces for Next Knesset


      The final results of Tuesday’s elections show that the Knesset faces major changes. The current largest faction, Kadima, will have just two seats in the next Knesset. The combined Likud-Yisrael Beytenu list is much smaller at 31 seats than the two parties are together.

      On the other side of the scale, the new Yesh Atid party will bring in 19 new MKs, and Labor and Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) will bring in mostly new representatives as well.

      In total, roughly 50 of the next Knesset’s 120 MKs will be new.
