How can new olim navigate Israel’s 2026 election? French immigrant builds online quiz to help

A French immigrant named Dan Finel created an online platform called knesset2026.com to help new immigrants (olim) in Israel understand the country's political landscape ahead of the 2026 election. The platform offers a 16-question quiz to match users with political candidates based on their views and provides daily news updates in multiple languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Hebrew. Finel, a 27-year-old data scientist working at Similarweb, developed the site after finding it challenging to access relevant political information in foreign languages. His project has attracted over 50,000 users, primarily aged 25 to 40, and reflects his personal connection to Israel, having grown up in a Zionist family and visiting the country since childhood. He moved to Israel in late 2023 due to the ongoing conflict, and his experience with the Israel Tech Challenge program solidified his decision to settle there.
