Israeli Election Polls Show Tight Race, No Clear Majority for Either Bloc
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Israeli election polls released nearly two weeks before the vote show a tight race with no clear majority for either the coalition or opposition blocs. Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party is leading in most surveys, but the average of four polls places both the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc and the opposition bloc at approximately 52.3 seats each. Several parties, including Ofer Winter's People of Israel, are struggling to cross the electoral threshold, which could significantly impact the final seat distribution and the ability to form a government.
