A new poll released less than two weeks before elections indicates a surge for Gadi Eisenkot's party, which is projected to win 24 seats, an increase from 22 in the previous survey. The Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, remains steady with 21 seats, while the "Beitech" party has weakened to 12 seats. Despite these shifts, neither the coalition nor the opposition bloc is close to securing the 61 seats required to form a government, with the coalition bloc at 50 seats and the opposition at 52.
Other parties show varying results in the poll: Otzma Yehudit is projected to receive 9 seats, Democrats and Yisrael Beiteinu each garner 8 seats, and Yahadut HaTorah and Shas each receive 7 seats. Religious Zionism and Zehut are polling at 6 seats, the Joint List at 9 seats, and Ra'am at 5 seats. The Arab parties collectively hold 14 seats, potentially playing a significant role in the final bloc calculations.
The list of reservists and the economic party led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Ze'likha has crossed the electoral threshold, securing 4 seats. In contrast, Ofer Winter's party remains below the threshold, attributed to an aggressive campaign against it by the Likud.
