A new poll published Friday by Maariv indicates that Gadi Eisenkot's Yishar! party maintains its lead with 21 Knesset seats. Despite recent events and commemorations of the October 7th massacre, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has gained one seat, now holding 20 mandates. Naftali Bennett's Together party remains steady with 13 seats, while Yair Golan's Democrats have dropped to 9 seats.
Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha's parties are also polling above the electoral threshold. Israel Beiteinu holds 9 seats, and Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit has strengthened to 8 seats. United Torah Judaism and Shas each secure 7 seats, as does the Arab Joint List. Religious Zionism garners 6 seats, Ra'am has 5, and Ofer Winter's Am Israel party and the Reservists and Economists party each receive 4 seats.
The poll reveals a tie between the blocs supporting and opposing Netanyahu, with each bloc holding 52 seats. This parity is attributed to the Likud's gain of one seat and the Democrats' loss of one, alongside Otzma Yehudit losing a seat and Religious Zionism gaining one. Arab parties collectively maintain 12 seats.
