Less than two weeks before elections, the "Achva" party, led by Naftali Bennett, has seen the largest jump in a new Knesset seat poll released by Channel 14 News. The party has risen from 7 to 11 seats, positioning itself as the third-largest party, behind Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu. This surge for Bennett's party comes as the Democrats party experiences a decline in support.
Likud continues to lead significantly with 29 seats, unchanged from the previous poll. Yisrael Beiteinu maintains its second position with 20 seats. "Achva" gains four seats to reach 11, placing it third. Shas follows with 10 seats, and the Joint List strengthens by one seat to 9.
Among other parties, the Democrats weaken by two seats, dropping from 10 to 8. United Torah Judaism and Otzma Yehudit each receive 8 seats, with Otzma Yehudit gaining one seat. Religious Zionism and Zehut garner 7 seats, while Yisrael Beiteinu and Ra'am each secure 5 seats.
A notable development is seen among parties failing to pass the electoral threshold. The "Miluimnikim HaKalkalit" party, which received 4 seats in the previous poll, has fallen to 3.1% and is now below the threshold. Other parties like "Amcha Yisrael" received 2.7%, Blue and White 1.2%, Noam LeYisrael 0.8%, The Haredi Public 0.4%, and "Achi - Returning to the Roots" 0.2%.
Changes were also observed in bloc allocations. The right-wing bloc increases from 61 to 62 seats, while the left-wing bloc weakens from 46 to 44. The Arab parties strengthen by one seat, rising to 14 seats.
