A new poll released Wednesday by Israel's Channel 13 News indicates a shift in the political landscape, with the bloc supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regaining a narrow lead ahead of the 2026 elections. The "Yashar!" party is projected to be the largest single party, securing 21 mandates, followed closely by the Likud party with 19 mandates.
Other parties showing significant support include "HaDemocratim" and "BeYachad," each receiving 11 mandates. Yisrael Beiteinu and the Joint List are each projected to win 9 mandates. United Torah Judaism and Otzma Yehudit are expected to garner 8 mandates apiece.
Further down the list, Religious Zionism, Zehut, and Shas are each polling at 7 mandates. Am Israel and Ra'am are projected to receive 5 mandates each.
When divided into blocs, the current coalition parties are estimated to win a total of 54 mandates. The opposition parties are projected to secure 52 mandates, while Arab parties collectively are expected to win 14 mandates. This suggests a tightening race, with the coalition bloc slightly ahead.
