Likud faction chairman MK Yariv Levin submitted the Likud list for the 25th Knesset to the Central Elections Committee this evening (Thursday).
Upon leaving the Central Elections Committee, Levin responded to the petition demanding the cancellation of Idit Silman's Likud membership, claiming that it was a "gross violation of the provisions of the law.".
Levin said that Silman, who brought down the Bennett-Lapid coalition, is "a very brave woman who did something that was not at all easy, saving the State of Israel from a disaster that could have befallen us if this evil government had continued in office for a long time.".

""I think the love she receives among the general public is the clearest answer to the fact that someone who follows an ideological path and does not lend their hand to deceit, as the Yamina party did in the previous term, deserves to be in Israeli politics, and I am very happy that she is part of the Likud list and I have no doubt that Silman will contribute a lot of her experience and ability to the work of the upcoming Knesset.".
MK Levin attacked the Jewish Home list and said: "There is a fear that right-wingers will be tempted again and vote for Shaked, parties that talk right and move to the left. Anyone who wants a right-wing government votes for Likud or the right-wing parties.".
Meanwhile, Meretz also appealed to the Attorney General demanding that she immediately open an investigation against the Likud. This is to check whether Silman's immunity was promised in advance in exchange for her defection, illegally.
After the merger between Agudat Yisrael and Degel Hatorah, United Torah Judaism also submitted its list to the Elections Committee.
United Torah Judaism Chairman Rabbi Yitzhak Goldknopf said: "We have now submitted the United Torah Judaism list to the 25th Knesset. The list consists of the contributions of great Torah scholars and rabbis, dedicated and active public representatives. I am glad that we were able to run together again, in unity and joining hands.".
""We have a lot of work ahead of us to expand our circles of support and bring in new voters, so that we can help the world of Torah, equalize Haredi education budgets to the official education system, put an end to wage discrimination against Haredi teachers, and work to lower the cost of living and provide affordable housing.".
""We must stop the government's ongoing humane violation of all matters of the country's Jewish identity; kosher, the sanctity of the Western Wall, and the trampling of the dignity of the Sabbath at the forefront of all public gatherings. We will do everything in our power to restore the standing of those who observe the Torah and the commandments after the humane blows inflicted on them by the government of hatred.".
MK Meir Porush, an Agoyi representative, signed the United Torah Judaism's unified list: "I am now signing the selected list, which fought and overthrew this evil government. With God's help, with united forces we will bring victory, so that we can establish a government that will be good for the Haredim, for the Torah of Israel, for the people of Israel, and for the Land of Israel.".
The Shas faction submitted its list for the 25th Knesset to the Elections Committee.
And this is the full list in order: Aryeh Deri, Yaakov Margi, Yoav Ben-Zur, Michael Malchieli, Haim Biton, Moshe Arbel, Yinon Azoulay, Moshe Aboutbul, Uriel Bosso, Yosef Taib, Avraham Bezalel, Yonatan Mashriqi, Netanel Chaik, Erez Malul, Simon Moshiashvili, Yossi Galant, Yaakov Israel Tzedakah, Tal Matityahu, Asher Nahari, Moshe Kaykov
