New Poll Shows Ofer Winter's Party Failing To Cross Electoral Threshold
Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

A new poll published Monday evening by Channel 12 News indicates that the "Amcha Israel" party, led by Ofer Winter, continues to fall short of the electoral threshold, a trend observed in previous surveys. The poll projects Gadi Eisenkot's "Yishai!" party to lead with 23 Knesset seats, followed by Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud with 21 seats.

Naftali Bennett's "Yachad" party is projected to receive 13 seats. Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu and Yair Golan's HaDemocratim are each expected to garner 9 seats. The joint list of Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad, along with United Torah Judaism led by Yaakov Asher, are each predicted to secure 8 seats.

Shas, under Aryeh Deri, and Otzma Yehudit, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, are each forecast to win 7 seats. Bezalel Smotrich and Moshe Feiglin's Religious Zionism-Identity party is projected at 6 seats, and Mansour Abbas's Ra'am party at 5 seats.

The "Reservists and Economic" party, led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zehlikha, is expected to pass the electoral threshold with 4 seats. In contrast, "Amcha Israel" is polling at 1.5%, "Hacharedi" at 0.6%, Blue and White at 0.5%, and Noam Israel at 0.2%, all failing to meet the required percentage to enter the Knesset.

According to the poll, opposition parties combined would receive 54 seats, coalition parties 49 seats, and Arab parties 13 seats.
