  • The opposition bloc leads the right-wing bloc by five seats in the latest survey.

With two weeks until the election, a new poll indicates that Ofer Winter's party is still struggling to pass the electoral threshold. The Walla poll, conducted by Lazar Institute, shows Winter's party failing to gain sufficient support.

The opposition bloc leads the right-wing bloc by five seats, but still cannot form a coalition without Arab parties.

In the right-wing bloc, Netanyahu's Likud leads with 20 seats, Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit and Yaakov Asher's United Torah Judaism each receive 8 seats, Der'i's Shas gets 7 seats, and Smotrich and Feiglin's Religious Zionism has 6 seats, totaling 49 seats for the right-wing bloc.

Handel and Zelicha's party gains 4 seats and is not affiliated with any bloc. Arab parties collectively secure 13 seats, with the Joint List receiving 8 and Mansour Abbas's Ra'am obtaining 5.

Previous polls from Channel 12 and Channel 14 also showed Winter failing to pass the threshold, with no significant shifts in bloc strength. Neither bloc has the 61 seats needed to form a majority government.
