Just eight days before the elections, a Channel 13 poll indicates that the "BeYachad" party, led by Naftali Bennett, is solidifying its position as a significant political force, rising to 14 Knesset seats. This surge for Bennett's party occurs while the top of the polls remains stable, with the "Yashar!" party in first place and "Likud" holding steady in second. The "Yashar!" party leads with 20 seats, followed by "Likud" with 18 seats. "BeYachad" gains two seats to reach 14, while the Joint List and the Democrats each secure 9 seats. Meanwhile, "Yisrael Beiteinu" loses ground, obtaining 8 seats. Shas, United Torah Judaism, Otzma Yehudit, and Religious Zionism each weaken slightly to 7 seats. At the bottom of the list, Ra'am garners 6 seats, while the "Am Israel" and "Handel-Zalicha" parties hover around the electoral threshold with 4 seats each. In terms of blocs, the current coalition would win 50 seats, while the opposition bloc strengthens to 51 seats. Arab parties collectively hold 15 seats, and the "Handel-Zalicha" list remains unaligned with 4 seats.
