A new poll conducted by Direct Polls for i24NEWS shows the Likud party leading with 26 seats ahead of the upcoming elections. The 'Yashar' party follows with 20 seats, 'Bechd' with 11, and 'HaDemocratim' with 10. Otzma Yehudit secures 9 seats, while United Torah Judaism receives 8. Shas, Yisrael Beiteinu, and the Joint List each garner 7 seats. Religious Zionism and Identity obtain 6 seats, Ra'am gets 5, and Am Israel closes the list with 4 seats, falling short of the electoral threshold.
The poll also indicates that the "Reservists and Economic" list, led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha, received 2.3% of the votes, placing it below the electoral threshold. Several other parties, including Tzeva Shachor, Blue and White, Noam LeYisrael, HaTzibur HaCharedi, Achi, and Yisrael Tfila - Orah Yarok, also failed to pass the threshold.
In terms of blocs, the Netanyahu bloc, including Winter's party, is projected to win 60 seats. The bloc opposing Netanyahu is estimated to receive 48 seats, with Arab parties collectively securing 12 seats. This configuration suggests the Netanyahu bloc is close to, but not definitively over, the 61-seat majority needed to form a government.
