A Channel 13 election poll released Tuesday evening, following the closure of polling stations for the 26th Knesset, indicates that the Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is the largest party with 25 mandates. The Yisrael Beiteinu party, headed by Gadi Eisenkot, follows with 23 mandates.
However, the poll reveals a divided political landscape when broken down by blocs. The current coalition parties together secure only 50 mandates, while opposition parties gain 53 mandates. Arab parties collectively receive 17 mandates.
In third place in the poll is the United Torah Judaism party with 14 mandates, followed by the Joint List with 10 mandates. The Democratic party is projected to win 9 mandates. Further down, Yisrael Beiteinu is listed with 7 mandates, alongside Yahadut HaTorah and Ra'am, each also receiving 7 mandates.
Three parties are projected to receive 6 mandates each: Religious Zionism, Shas, and Otzma Yehudit. Conversely, three parties are not expected to pass the electoral threshold according to the Channel 13 poll: Am Israel, the party of Hendel and Zelicha, and the Haredi Public party.
