A new poll released Wednesday by Channel 13 indicates a significant shift in the Israeli political landscape, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc facing a substantial decline in support less than two weeks before elections. The survey shows the Yesh! party, led by the Leader of the Yesh! party, emerging as the largest party with 20 mandates. The Likud party, led by Netanyahu, trails with only 18 mandates. The Together party, headed by Naftali Bennett, garners 12 mandates. Israel Beiteinu, the Democrats, and the Joint List each receive 9 mandates. Otzma Yehudit and United Torah Judaism are projected to get 8 mandates each, followed by Shas with 7, and the Religious Zionism and Ra'am parties with 6 mandates each. Notably, Ofer Winter's party surpasses the electoral threshold, securing 4 mandates, as does the "Miliionimniks" party. The poll results suggest a coalition bloc supporting the current government would win 51 mandates, while the opposition bloc would secure 69 mandates. Professor Cohen Eliya commented that this represented Netanyahu's sole disadvantage.
