A new poll by Kan 11 indicates that no political bloc will secure a clear majority in the upcoming elections, making the formation of the next government uncertain. The survey shows Gadi Eisenkot's party leading in Knesset seats, despite a slight weakening. The bloc supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dropped to 50 seats, while Eisenkot's bloc stands at 52 seats. Arab parties collectively gained one seat to reach 14, and the Handel-Zelicha list holds four seats. Neither bloc is projected to reach the 61-seat threshold needed for a majority.
Notably, the poll also reveals a tie between Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett for suitability as Prime Minister, with both receiving 38% support. This parity coincides with a two-seat gain for Bennett's party and a one-seat loss for the Likud party. Ofer Winter's party is not projected to pass the electoral threshold.
With only four days remaining until voting, a significant portion of the electorate remains undecided. The survey found that 36% of respondents have not yet decided which party to vote for, a figure that could significantly impact the final seat distribution.
