A new poll published Tuesday by Maariv indicates that the "Am Echad Israel" party, led by Ofer Winter, is polling at only 2.8% and would not pass the electoral threshold. In contrast, the union of "HaMiluimnikim" (Reservists) led by Yoaz Hendel and the Economic party led by Prof. Yaron Zelekha garnered 3.4% support, translating to four Knesset seats.
The "Yashar!" party continues to gain momentum, rising to 25 seats, while the "BeYachad" party led by Naftali Bennett drops to 13 seats. Consequently, Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition has fallen to 47 seats.
The Zionist opposition remains at 57 seats. With the addition of the four seats from the Hendel-Zelekha union, the opposition could potentially form a majority of 61 seats, even without the Arab parties, which together poll at 12 seats.
Separately, Gadi Eisenkot commented on the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th events, mentioning Kibbutz Nir Oz.
