A final pre-election poll conducted by Dudi Hassid for Kan 11 indicates a political deadlock, with neither the right nor the left blocs able to form a coalition without Arab party support. The poll shows the center-left bloc with a slight advantage, led by the largest party, which garners 22 seats. The left-wing parties, including Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid's factions, together secure 14 seats, while the Democratic party and Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu each receive 8 seats, totaling 52 seats for the bloc.
On the right, the Likud party is projected to win 20 seats. Religious parties like Yahadut HaTorah and Otzma Yehudit are expected to get 8 seats each, Shas 7 seats, and Bezalel Smotrich and Gideon Sa'ar's party 7 seats, bringing the right-religious bloc to a total of 50 seats.
Ofer Winter's party, 'Amkha Yisrael,' is shown failing to pass the electoral threshold. The Arab parties collectively secure 14 seats, split between the Joint List with 9 seats and Ra'am with 5.
The poll suggests that the political stalemate persists. While a potential minority government led by the center-left bloc is theoretically possible, it would require the consent of Arab parties. The right-wing bloc, according to this survey, would be unable to form a government. The poll also raises the possibility of alternative scenarios, such as a return of the 'Herut' party or a unity government.
