New Poll Shows Right-Wing Bloc Surpassing Left-Wing Bloc in Israeli Politics

A new poll conducted by "HaMadad" for Channel 13 News indicates a significant shift in the Israeli political landscape, with the right-wing bloc now leading the left-wing bloc by two seats. While the "Yashar" party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, emerges as the largest single party, the combined right-wing parties hold a majority.

The Likud party saw a slight decrease, polling at 18 seats. However, Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionism-Identity both garnered 8 seats, with the latter reaching this number for the first time. The ultra-Orthodox parties are projected to split 14 seats evenly. Winter's "Amekh Yisrael" party is polling at 6 seats, contributing to a total of 54 seats for the right-wing bloc.

In the opposition, "Yashar" is expected to secure 22 seats. The parties led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid are polling at 12 seats, Yair Golan's "Democrats" at 10, and Avigdor Lieberman's party at 8, totaling 50 seats for the opposition bloc.

Notably, the parties of Hanoch Milwidsky and Yifat Shasha-Biton did not pass the electoral threshold. Arab parties are projected to win 8 seats for the Hadash-Ta'al-Balad alliance and 6 seats for Ra'am.
