Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party recently announced Oren Dobronsky, an entrepreneur, as a new candidate. Dobronsky faced immediate scrutiny for past social media posts where he called former US President Donald Trump a "morally corrupt piece of shit" and criticized the US-Iran agreement. He later apologized, stating, "President Trump is the greatest friend that Israel ever had in the White House."

- Separately, Aliza Bloch, former mayor of Beit Shemesh, joined a new right-wing party and initially suggested Arab parties could join the government, a stance she later retracted, stating her party "won't sit in a government with parties that support terror."
