Israeli Election Polls Show Deadlock, Eisenkot Leading Netanyahu
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Election polls released two days before Israelis vote show Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party leading Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, but neither bloc is projected to win the 61 seats needed to form a government. The average gap between the two major blocs is 4.5 seats. Several smaller parties, including Ofer Winter's People of Israel, are failing to cross the electoral threshold in the final surveys, contributing to the potential deadlock.
