With four days remaining until the Knesset elections, a new and final poll from Maariv indicates significant shifts in the political landscape. The Yashar party maintains its leading position with 21 mandates. The Likud party gains one mandate, rising to 19, while the Be'yad party sees a surge of two mandates, reaching 15. The Democrats also strengthen, increasing to ten mandates.
The most significant setback is for Ofer Winter's Amcha Israel party, which drops from four mandates in the previous poll to just 3% support, falling below the electoral threshold. Simultaneously, Shas strengthens to eight mandates, and Religious Zionism rises to seven. Otzma Yehudit weakens by one mandate, falling to seven.
Changes are also observed among Arab parties: the Joint List strengthens to nine mandates, while Ra'am weakens to five. United Torah Judaism drops to seven mandates, and the Reservists party receives four.
In bloc calculations, the parties supporting Netanyahu collectively reach only 48 mandates. The Zionist parties outside this bloc stand at 58 mandates. The Joint List and Ra'am together hold an additional 14 mandates.
