New Poll Shows Tight Race, Potential Kingmaker Ahead of Elections
A new poll released by Kan News 43 days before the upcoming elections reveals an exceptionally close race between the two major political blocs. Both the bloc supporting Benjamin Netanyahu and the bloc identified with Gadi Eisenkot are projected to receive 52 seats in the Knesset, resulting in a complete tie.
Notably, a separate party, potentially holding four seats, is positioned outside these two main blocs. This party could emerge as a crucial player in coalition-building negotiations, potentially becoming a kingmaker in the formation of the next government.
Within the poll's findings, Gadi Eisenkot's party is shown to have an advantage. The specific breakdown indicates that the Netanyahu bloc has 52 mandates, and the Eisenkot bloc also reaches 52 mandates. The four mandates held by Yoaz Hendel's party remain outside these blocs, suggesting his potential influence in forming a coalition.
