  "account": "In the 26th Knesset election held on Tuesday, several prominent political figures found themselves outside Israel's parliament despite their high-profile status and strong campaigns. Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, secured only five seats, leaving incumbent lawmakers Vladimir Beliak and Naor Shiri outside the next Knesset. The Religious Zionist Party, under Zvi Sukkot, also suffered a loss, as Sukkot was ranked seventh on their list but the party only won six seats. Meanwhile, protest leader Moshe Radman, ninth on the Democrats' electoral list, failed to secure a seat as the party only won eight seats overall. In Likud, Minister Ze ev Elkin, bereaved father Itzik Bontzel, MK Amit Halevi, and MK Avihai Boaron were all left out of parliament, despite their positions on the party's electoral lists.",
  "summary": "From Likud's Ze'ev Elkin to protest leader Moshe Radman, Tuesday's election left several prominent Israeli political figures without Knesset seats.",
