A “–” means the party did not run on its own in that Knesset election (not zero seats).

Founded in 1973 as a union of right-wing movements (among them Herut and the Liberals). In 1977 it led the 'Upheaval' (HaMahapakh), ending 29 years of uninterrupted rule by the left/Labor parties. In 2005 some of its leaders, headed by Ariel Sharon, left and founded Kadima. · Source ↗

Party members · 40

Members who resigned or were replaced during the term appear faded and marked ✕, in their original place on the list - so you can see who was actually elected. Any further gap from the number of seats is explained by the Norwegian Law (a minister gives up their Knesset seat so the next candidate on the list can enter): the minister is still shown here as a key public figure, next to the MK who took their seat.
