A recent poll conducted by Israel's Channel 14 indicates a strong likelihood of a right-wing parliamentary majority if early elections were held today. The "Likud" party is projected to lead with 31 seats, followed by "Yashar" with 21 seats. Other parties expected to enter the Knesset include "Shas" (10 seats), "Democratim" and "Behad" (9 seats each), "Yahadut HaTorah" (8 seats), the "Tzionut Datit" - "Zeut" - "Otzma Yehudit" bloc (7 seats), and the "Joint List" (7 seats). "Yisrael Beiteinu" is predicted to secure 6 seats, and "Ra'am" 5 seats.
Two parties, "Miluimnikim - Kalkalit" (2.1% of votes) and "Amcha Israel" (1.6% of votes), would fall short of the electoral threshold. Overall, the right-wing bloc is projected to win 63 seats, forming a stable majority. The left-wing bloc would garner 45 seats, and Arab parties combined would hold 12 seats.
In a separate question regarding the prime ministerial race, Benjamin Netanyahu emerged as the clear favorite, with 53% of respondents choosing him as the most suitable candidate. Gadi Eisenkot followed with 32% support, while Naftali Bennett received 10%, and Avigdor Lieberman garnered 5%.
