Meretz candidates will be placed in the sixth, eighth, and 14th places on the Democrats' list

Meretz party candidates will occupy specific ranked positions on the Democratic list for the Knesset as part of a new agreement.

The Meretz party candidates are set to secure the sixth, eighth, and 14th positions on the list of the Democratic party for the upcoming Knesset elections, as announced in a recent agreement made on Friday between Democratic Chairman Yair Golan and the Meretz party. This collaboration indicates a strategic move aimed at enhancing representation and negotiation power within the political landscape in Israel.

As part of the agreement, it was also stipulated that Meretz representatives would be integrated into coalition negotiation teams, maximizing their influence in future government formations. Additionally, there are assurances for their involvement in upcoming elections, contingent upon their performance in the general Democratic primaries, further emphasizing the party's commitment to a shared political agenda and collaborative efforts across different political arenas.

This partnership reflects not only a tactical alignment of ideologies but also demonstrates the broader trends in Israeli politics towards coalition-building and seeking greater inclusivity amid increasing electoral competition. The agreement will soon be brought before the leadership of the Democratic conference for approval, marking a significant step in the preparation for the Knesset elections.
