A new poll conducted by Kan 11 News indicates that Ofer Winter's newly formed political party, "Amcha Yisrael," is projected to fall short of the electoral threshold in the upcoming elections. This marks the first time since the party's announcement that it has not cleared the minimum requirement to enter the Knesset. The poll also shows Gadi Eisenkot's party, Yisrael, securing 23 mandates, slightly ahead of the Likud party's 21 mandates. The bloc supporting Eisenkot is projected to win 52 mandates, while the current coalition is expected to garner 51 mandates.
Other parties showing gains in the poll include Otzma Yehudit, Shas, and United Torah Judaism, each projected to receive eight mandates, an increase of one mandate for each. The Democratic party is projected to weaken by one mandate, also ending up with eight. Yisrael Beiteinu is expected to win nine mandates, and the Religious Zionism party, along with Identity, is projected to win six mandates. The Hadash-Ta'al and Balad parties together are projected to win eight mandates, and Ra'am is expected to win five mandates.
In addition to "Amcha Yisrael," the poll suggests that Blue and White, the Haredi public, and Noam will also fail to pass the electoral threshold.
