Following the resignation from Knesset by Bayit Yehudi party leader Minister Naftali Bennett from Knesset, former MK Shuli Muallem on Monday, 29 Tishrei, took the oath of office and is now a member of the 20th Knesset.

Bayit Yehudi only earned eight seats in this Knesset, leaving Muallem who was in the number ninth slot outside. Only after Minister Bennett agreed to resign as an MK was Muallem able to move back into the Israeli parliament.
