A new Knesset poll published by Walla News indicates a five-seat lead for the "Change Bloc" over the "Netanyahu Bloc." The "Yashar" party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, emerges as the largest party with 22 seats, followed by the Likud, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, with 20 seats.

A significant finding in the survey is the entry of a joint list comprising Yoaz Hendel's reservists' party and Yaron Zelekha's Economic party into the Knesset, securing four seats and surpassing the electoral threshold. Conversely, a party led by Ofer Winter failed to pass the threshold.

The "B'Yachad" party, a joint venture of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, is projected to take third place with 13 seats. The Democrats, led by Yair Golan, are expected to win ten seats, and Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu is polling at nine seats.

Three parties are each projected to receive eight seats: Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit, United Torah Judaism, and the Arab list. Shas is predicted to gain seven seats, while the joint list of Bezalel Smotrich and Moshe Feiglin's National Union of Religious Zionism and Identity is forecast to win six seats. Mansour Abbas's Ra'am party is polling at five seats, and the Hendel-Zelekha list rounds out the parties crossing the threshold with four seats.

Overall, the poll shows Eisenkot's party leading Likud by two seats, with the "Change Bloc" holding a five-seat advantage over the "Netanyahu Bloc." The bloc breakdown projects 49 seats for the current coalition, 54 for the opposition, 13 for Arab parties, and 4 for the Hendel-Zelekha list.
