A new Israeli political poll shows Gadi Eisenkot's "Yesher!" party leading with 22 seats, surpassing Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, which received 20 seats. The survey indicates that neither the current government's bloc nor the opposition bloc will achieve the 61 seats needed for a majority. The joint list of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zehlikha is expected to enter the Knesset with four seats, while Ofer Winter's "Amcha Israel" party falls below the electoral threshold.

  • Gadi Eisenkot's "Yesher!" party leads a new poll with 22 seats, ahead of Likud's 20.
  • No political bloc is projected to reach the 61 seats needed for a Knesset majority.
  • Naftali Bennett's "Yachad" party is third with 13 seats in the latest survey.
  • Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zehlikha's joint list is expected to enter the Knesset with four seats.
  • Ofer Winter's "Amcha Israel" party failed to cross the electoral threshold.

A new poll released yesterday, Monday, indicates a shift in the political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections. The survey, conducted by Lazar Research Institute, shows Gadi Eisenkot's "Yesher!" party leading with 22 seats, while Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party garners 20 seats. Naftali Bennett's "Yachad" party is projected to come in third with 13 seats.

Despite the leading parties' numbers, neither the right-wing nor the left-wing blocs are projected to reach the 61 seats required for a majority in the Knesset. The joint list of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zehlikha is expected to enter the Knesset with four seats, a result that would likely satisfy them. In contrast, Ofer Winter's "Amcha Israel" party falls below the electoral threshold with only 2.8% support.

Other parties in the poll include Yair Golan's Democrats with ten seats, Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu with nine, and Otzma Yehudit, United Torah Judaism, and the Arab Joint List each receiving eight seats. Shas is projected to win seven seats, the Religious Zionism and Zehut joint list six, and Ra'am five.
