A new poll published Tuesday indicates a potential shift in Israeli political power, with the "Yesher!" party emerging as the leading force. If elections were held today, "Yesher!" would secure 21 seats in the Knesset, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party would be reduced to 18 seats. The current coalition bloc's strength would also decline to 52 seats.

"Yachad Democrats" and "Otzma Yehudit," led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, each garnered 9 seats, with Ben-Gvir's party gaining two seats.
"United Torah Judaism" and the "Joint List," led by Yosef Jabareen, both received 8 seats, with each faction adding one seat. "Yisrael Beiteinu" and "Shas," led by Aryeh Deri, would each win 7 seats, with Deri's party losing one seat. "Religious Zionism-Identity" is projected to win 6 seats, down one from the previous poll.
"Ra'am" and the "Reservists-Economic" list would each secure 5 seats, surpassing the electoral threshold. "Am Israel" is projected to receive 4 seats. The poll suggests the coalition's support is weakening, with the bloc falling to 52 seats, while the opposition appears to be consolidating its position.
