Jerusalem, 28 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid is expected to enter Israel’s 26th Knesset with just three or four additional lawmakers from his party, according to preliminary election results released Wednesday. Lapid ran as part of Naftali Bennett’s Together list. If the results hold, Yesh Atid will have its smallest parliamentary representation since entering the Knesset in 2013.
Yesh Atid won 19 seats in 2013, fell to 11 in 2015, and joined Benny Gantz and Moshe Ya’alon’s Blue and White alliance, which won 35 seats in April 2019 and 33 in each of the next two elections. Running independently again, Yesh Atid won 17 seats in 2021 and peaked at 24 in 2022.
Yesh Atid’s projected representation on Tuesday suffered a decline of approximately 80% from that peak.
