New Poll Shows Netanyahu Bloc Nearing Majority, Opposition Weakens

A new poll conducted for i24NEWS indicates a significant shift in Israel's political landscape, with the Likud party maintaining its lead and the "Yesh!" party emerging as a strong second.

According to the survey results, Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is projected to win 27 seats. The "Yesh!" party follows with 22 seats. The "Together" party, headed by Benny Gantz and Naftali Bennett, and "The Democrats" led by Yair Golan, each secure 9 seats.

Among religious and ultra-Orthodox parties, Otzma Yehudit and United Torah Judaism are each expected to receive 8 seats. Shas and Yisrael Beiteinu are projected to win 7 seats apiece. The Joint List also garners 7 seats, while Religious Zionism, led by Bezalel Smotrich, and Ra'am each receive 6 seats.

The "Amcha Israel" party, under Ofer Winter, is shown to surpass the electoral threshold with 4 seats. The list of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha, however, does not pass the threshold in this poll.

The poll divides the political blocs as follows: Netanyahu's supporters are estimated to hold 60 seats, the opposition bloc against Netanyahu stands at 47 seats, and Arab parties collectively hold 13 seats.
