  "account": "MK Avidgor Liberman, chairman of Yisrael Beytenu, officially unveiled his party's Knesset candidate list on Sunday, ahead of the October elections' submission deadline. The party selected Rafi Ben Shitrit as the second candidate, followed by Co. (res.) Talya Lankri in the third spot. Oded Forer and Yulia Malinovsky secured the fourth and fifth positions, respectively. Sharon Sharabi, brother of former Hamas hostage Eli Sharabi, was placed sixth. The remaining spots were allocated to Yisrael Beytenu MKs Hamad Amar and Evgeny Sova, Lod deputy mayor Elvira Kolihman, and former Likud member Dan Illouz. The 25-candidate slate is expected to earn the party ten seats. Liberman emphasized the need for a clear victory to establish a Zionist, nationalist, and liberal government that prioritizes IDF personnel, reservists, taxpayers, and serves all of Israel. The party remains staunchly opposed to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Iranian regime, advocating for a strong security stance and settlement expansion in the West Bank.",
  "summary": "Yisrael Beytenu is polling around ten mandates, with the complete list detailing 25 people who would enter the Knesset in case the party earns enough votes.",
