Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

A dramatic poll released Wednesday by Channel 13 has shown the bloc supporting Prime Minister Netanyahu with 55 seats, a significant increase in recent surveys and a potential blow to opposition efforts. Political commentator Michael Shemesh stated that if these poll numbers reflect the final election results, the "ceremony" for an "Izencoat government" is over, and questions should be raised about what the opposition is doing to win.

The poll indicated a tie between Netanyahu and Izencoat, with each receiving 20 seats. Following them, Bennett secured 12 seats, the Democrats 10, the Arab list 10, and Yisrael Beiteinu, Yahadut HaTorah, and Otzma Yehudit each garnered 8 seats. Shas and the Religious Zionism party each received 7 seats, Ra'am 6, and Am Israel passed the electoral threshold with 5 seats. The opposition bloc, in contrast, was projected to receive only 50 seats.

In related news, the Professor criticized Netanyahu, stating, "You must not do this."
