Three different polls released Sunday night present conflicting pictures of the Israeli political landscape just nine days before the upcoming Knesset elections. The main point of contention is the race for first place between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and Gadi Eisenkot's Yishar! party.
A poll by Channel 14 places Likud in the lead with 29 mandates, followed by Yishar! with 22. In this poll, Naftali Bennett's "Together" party and Shas each receive 10 mandates, while the Democrats and United Torah Judaism get 8. Religious Zionism, Zehut, Otzma Yehudit, and the Joint List each secure 7 mandates. Israel Beiteinu and Ra'am are projected to win 6 mandates each. The right-wing bloc is estimated to receive 61 mandates, the center-left 46, and Arab parties 13.
Conversely, a poll by Kan 11 shows Yishar! as the largest party with 23 mandates, with Likud trailing at 21. Bennett's "Together" party garners 12 mandates, the Democrats 9, and Otzma Yehudit, Israel Beiteinu, Shas, and the Hadash-Ta'al and Balad list each receive 8 mandates. Religious Zionism-Zehut and United Torah Judaism are projected to get 7 mandates each, while Ra'am receives 5. Yoaz Hendel's Reservists party and Yaron Zelekha's Economic party are predicted to win 4 mandates each. Several parties, including Am Israel, Blue and White, Hachareidi, and Noam, are shown failing to pass the electoral threshold.
The i24NEWS poll shows Likud leading with 25 mandates, followed by Yishar! with 21 and "Together" with 13. Otzma Yehudit receives 10 mandates, the Democrats 9, and United Torah Judaism, the Joint List, and Shas each get 8 mandates. Israel Beiteinu, Religious Zionism, Zehut, and Ra'am are projected to win 6 mandates each. Parties like Am Israel, the Reservists list, and the Economic party fall below the threshold.
