New Poll Shows Gadi Eisenkot's Party Leading, Opposition Bloc Gains

A new poll released by Channel 12 indicates that Gadi Eisenkot's "Yashar!" party would emerge as the largest faction if elections were held today, securing 23 seats. This represents a decrease of two seats compared to the previous poll.

The opposition bloc, including Arab parties, collectively garnered 66 seats, also down by two seats from the prior survey. Notably, the "United Party" formed by Harel and Zelig, which does not align with the opposition, surpassed the electoral threshold to win 4 seats.

In the hypothetical election, the Likud party followed Yashar! with 20 seats, one less than before. "Be'adainu" secured third place with 13 seats, and "HaDemocratim" came in fourth with 10 seats.

Several parties tied for fifth place with 8 seats each: the Joint List, Yahadut HaTorah, and Yisrael Beiteinu. Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu lost one seat from the previous poll.

Shas received 7 seats, Otzma Yehudit obtained 6 seats, and the Religious Zionism-Identity party, led by Smotrich and Feiglin, secured 5 seats. Ra'am, HaMiluimnikim-HaKalkalit, and Amcha Yisrael each received 4 seats, with Winter's faction losing one seat and Harel and Zelig's United Party crossing the threshold.
