Summarized from Israel National News by baba

A final Channel 12 election poll shows Gadi Eisenkot's party leading with 23 seats and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud at 21 seats, just days before Israelis vote. The anti-Netanyahu bloc is projected to win 70 seats, but only 56 without Arab parties. Voters in the "bloc of change" largely prefer forming a minority government relying on Ra'am's abstention if a majority cannot be secured otherwise.
