A new poll indicates that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc has lost four seats in the Knesset.
According to the survey results, Netanyahu's Likud party and its allies would secure 51 mandates, while the opposition bloc led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot would receive 50 seats. Neither bloc is close to the 61 mandates required for a majority.
The poll shows Eisenkot's "Yashar" party leading with 20 seats, followed by Likud with 18, and "Be-Yahad" with 12. "Yisrael Beiteinu," "Democrats," and the Joint List are each projected to win nine seats. "Otzma Yehudit" and "United Torah Judaism" are expected to get eight mandates each. Shas is predicted to gain seven seats, while "Religious Zionism" and "Ra'am" are forecast to receive six each. "The People of Israel" and Hendel-Zelecha's alliance are projected to win four mandates apiece.
An additional 19 seats are allocated to political forces outside the two main blocs, suggesting their potential role in forming a future coalition. The poll was conducted by sociologists Shmuel Rosner and Noa Slepkov from the research company Madad, surveying 1,018 individuals with a stated margin of error of 3.1%.
Separately, Knesset Member Amit Halevi expressed concern about Israel's lack of a clear plan for decisive victory against its enemies.
