Who is telling you this

Petek (פתק) is the slip you put in the envelope. This site explains what each one stands for, in English, before Israel votes on 27 October 2026.

Who makes it

The Petek is published by Bernie News Network, which has sent breaking news out of Israel and the Middle East to English readers since 2016.

Bernie Moerdler started it after the 2016 US election: “I was tired of the fact that the media had a bunch of biases and you had to go through tons of articles to actually get any information.”

The rule has not changed. Straight from the sources, no opinion on top. This site applies it to an election instead of a news cycle.

Every list gets the same page

24 lists. 140 candidates. 22 jobs more than one person wants.

Same format, same six issues, same amount of room for every list on the ballot. That includes lists polling below the threshold, and lists whose politics we do not share. No endorsements. No money from any party, candidate or campaign.

Where a candidate breaks with their own party’s line, you see the break rather than an average of the two.
