Recent Israeli opinion polls released Friday evening, ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections on Tuesday, indicate a close race with no clear majority for any single bloc. The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation's (Kan 11) poll projected Yesh Atid as the largest party with 22 seats, followed by Likud with 20 seats. Other parties projected to gain seats include Yahad (14), the Joint List (9), Democrats (8), Otzma Yehudit (8), Yisrael Beiteinu (8), United Torah Judaism (8), Shas (7), Religious Zionism and Moshe Feiglin (7), and the United Arab List (5). The "Reservists and Economy" party was projected to receive 4 seats, while "Amcha Israel" was not expected to pass the electoral threshold. The Kan 11 poll further suggested that the opposition bloc, led by Yesh Atid's Gadi Eisenkot, would secure 52 seats, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc would receive 50 seats. These figures exclude the two Arab lists, which together are projected to win 14 seats, and the "Reservists and Economy" party with 4 seats. Channel 12 is expected to release its poll shortly.
