Thirty-three women were sworn into Israel’s 26th Knesset, marking a record high, yet the traditional photograph of faction heads showed only male leaders. Gender representation varies sharply across political blocs, with Eisenkot’s faction at 47% women compared to Netanyahu’s Likud at 13.2%, while ultra-Orthodox parties have no women in leadership positions. The disparity highlights ongoing challenges in political representation despite increased female participation in parliament.
