A new poll released by Channel 12 News shows Gadi Eisenkot's party leading in the upcoming elections, with 12 mandates. Notably, Ofer Winter's party failed to pass the electoral threshold.

The poll also indicates that the Democrats party would receive 10 mandates, followed by the Joint List with 9. Shas, Yisrael Beiteinu, and Otzma Yehudit are each projected to win 8 mandates, while United Torah Judaism secures 7. Religious Zionism-Identity is expected to get 6 mandates, and Ra'am rounds out the list with 5.

The bloc map presented by the poll highlights the difficulty Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces in forming a coalition. The current government bloc stands at only 50 mandates, while the opposition bloc reaches 56. Combined, Arab parties are projected to win 14 mandates, meaning neither bloc can reach the 61-mandate threshold required to form a government without additional support.
