The spread

, 115 seats · 38 lists

Each block is one list. Its height is the list's projected seat count, so a 24-seat list stands twelve times taller than a 2-seat list. The small squares under the line are lists the average gives no seats. Left to right is the same scale on every issue page.

Where each list stands

, 11 lists · 115 seats

Yashar ישר! עם איזנקוט,

23 seats.
Strongly toward Universal draft:

Everyone is summoned, the army first and civilian service otherwise, with prosecution for evaders. Up to 3 per cent of each intake may defer a year for Torah study.

Likud הליכוד,

22 seats.
Toward Preserve exemptions:

It governs with the Haredi parties and in July 2026 barred the arrest of draft evaders, while its own aims require regular service of every citizen.

B'Yachad ביחד בראשות בנט,

12 seats.
Strongly toward Universal draft:

Everyone is drafted. Those who refuse lose their stipends, National Insurance discounts and rate relief, and 8.8 billion shekels moves to those who serve.

The Democrats הדמוקרטים,

9 seats.
Strongly toward Universal draft:

Draft for everyone — full equality of burden

Shas ש״ס,

8 seats.
Strongly toward Preserve exemptions:

Torah study is service. A law settling the status of yeshiva students is its one condition for joining a government, and it left the government in 2025 when none came.

United Torah Judaism יהדות התורה,

8 seats.
Strongly toward Preserve exemptions:

Exemption is existential

Yisrael Beiteinu ישראל ביתנו,

8 seats.
Strongly toward Universal draft:

Ra'am רע״ם,

5 seats.
Toward Universal draft:

Voted against the blanket exemption law
