About the party
Garden of Eden: a list for the 26th Knesset with 7 candidates. The scores rest on the record of one of the candidates in previous Knessets. Plenum votes on bills are included up to 28 July 2026, and committee discussions up to 24 March 2026.
Garden of Eden is a party headed by Yeshua Israel Ben-David. According to the party's website, he is its founder and chair, and the website presents him as a candidate for prime minister and for the post of finance minister. The list for the 26th Knesset was submitted on 7 September 2026 and has 7 candidates: Ben-David at its head, followed by Yaakov Ben-Yissachar and Yaakov Lior Cohen. The party asked to run under the ballot letters "יה", and according to ynet it asked for them as the name of God. On 27 September 2026, the Central Elections Committee rejected the request because of a concern about harm to the feelings of the public, and approved its second choice, the letter "ה". According to a report in ynet, its platform includes a partial halakhic state, cancellation of debts and mortgages, reforms in the judicial system and closing the Ministry of Welfare.

Committees
View all committeesThe five committees that the list's members attended most in the 25th Knesset. “Spoke” is counted from the committee sessions that were analysed. The data has no committee membership list, so this is attendance and speaking, not formal membership.
