HaMerotz LaMillion 7 is the seventh installment of the reality television show, HaMerotz LaMillion, the Israeli version of The Amazing Race.

Development

In October 2018, news broke that Reshet would be filming the seventh and eight seasons of HaMerotz LaMillion back-to-back with filming set to begin in November and into December. This is the first Amazing Race franchise to film two installments during a 54-day production. Filming for the seventh season began on 4 November, when passersby noticed a crane and Race flags on the grounds of the Knesset. Speaker Yuli-Yoel Edelstein later confirmed in a statement that the Knesset was being used as a filming location for HaMerotz LaMillion as part of the seventieth anniversary celebration of the establishment of the legislature .
