1This title, called in Hebrew ממלא מקום ראש הממשלה (Memale Mekom Rosh HaMemshala, lit. Prime Minister's Place Filler), means Livni is first in line to replace the Prime Minister in case of incapacitation or death; it does not mean she currently exercises any Prime Ministerial duties.
2Labour have filed a law suit, alleging electoral fraud in several Arab settlements and requesting to grant it an additional seat at the expense of the United Arab List. If this suit proves successful, Zakour will be replaced with Labour's Shakib Shanan.
