- Winter's party faces collapse after controversy over Haddad's past.
- New poll shows "Yashar!" party leading with 23 seats.
- Likud party follows with 21 seats in the latest survey.
- Blocs are narrowly divided: Izencott with 52, Netanyahu with 51 seats.
A new poll by Kan News, conducted by the Kantar Institute, indicates a significant drop for the party led by retired Brigadier General Ofer Winter, failing to pass the electoral threshold for the first time since its establishment. This sharp decline in support comes after the exposure of a past video featuring Yosef Haddad, the list's number two and a public relations activist, in which he expressed support for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
According to the poll of 554 respondents, the 'Yashar!' party leads with 23 seats. The Likud party, headed by Binyamin Netanyahu, follows with 21 seats. The 'Bichad' party received 12 seats, and Yisrael Beiteinu secured 9 seats.
Several parties each garnered 8 seats: HaDemocratim, Otzma Yehudit, Shas, Yahadut HaTorah, and the Joint List. HaTzionut HaDatit received 6 seats, Ra'am has 5 seats, and the party of Hendel and Zeligman stands at 4 seats.
The poll also presented a tense bloc division: the "Izencott bloc" with 52 seats, the "Netanyahu bloc" with 51 seats, Arab parties with 13 seats, and Hendel and Zeligman with 4 seats.
