DescriptionThe recent merger between the Likud and Yisarel Beitenu parties has yet to prove its efficiency in the polls; however, it has managed to come a full circle, bringing the offspring of two of the Likud's most memorable figures back to the spotlight.

Yair Shamir, 67, son of late Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, joined Yisrael Beiteinu six months ago, and was reportedly listed second on its list for the upcoming elections. Following the merger, Shamir is expected to rank fifth on the party's roster, a spot reserved to Avigdor Lieberman's deputy.

During Yitzhak Shamir's term as prime minister, David Levy served as his deputy and foreign minister. His daughter, MK Orli Levy–Abekasis, who has completed a successful term in the 18th Knesset, will likely receive a ministerial role from Lieberman, if elected.
