Shas, Kulanu and the newly merged far-right list led by Habayit Hayehudi, National Union and Otzma Yehudit are expected to announce their Knesset tickets later on Wednesday. Likud and Labor, meanwhile, have several spots reserved for candidates selected personally by party leaders. These will also be finalized by Thursday.

A decision on a possible merger of Arab-majority parties Hadash and United Arab List-Balad is also pending.
