Political analyst and sociologist Shlomo Filber maintains his forecast that the right-wing bloc will secure 63 to 64 seats in the upcoming Knesset elections. Speaking on a radio program, Filber stated that despite uncertainty surrounding voter turnout, he anticipates a stable parliamentary majority for the right. He identified several factors that could significantly influence the election results, including turnout among the Arab and Haredi sectors, which remain difficult to assess accurately. Another crucial element is the performance of two parties currently hovering near the 3.25% electoral threshold. Filber estimates these parties are collectively losing six to seven potential mandates, with the right-wing camp experiencing more significant losses than the left. Votes for parties failing to cross the threshold will not translate into Knesset representation, potentially altering the final seat distribution. Nevertheless, Filber is not altering his prediction, believing the right-wing bloc will ultimately achieve 63 to 64 seats, ensuring them a parliamentary majority.
