The oleh spot is placed at the 32nd spot on the Likud list.
"I was privileged to immigrate to Israel with deep Zionism and I thank the Creator of the world for the opportunity to work for the people of Israel in the Knesset as well," tweeted Illouz on Wednesday. "After a diplomatic career and a successful term as a member of the council of our eternal capital Jerusalem, I will promote the values of the national and liberal camp from the Knesset as well. Many thanks to the thousands of people who voted for me. I will be a faithful emissary."
"I think we have a great list, an amazing list, that will enable us to win the next election with a historic win and form a good right-wing government hopefully," Illouz told The Jerusalem Post.
