- Two new Israeli parties, 'Amcha Israel' and 'Reservists - Economic,' are failing to pass the electoral threshold in recent polls.
- Ofer Winter leads the 'Amcha Israel' party, while Handel and Zelicha head the 'Reservists - Economic' party.
- The electoral threshold in Israel is 3.25% of the national vote.
- Polls indicate neither party will secure Knesset seats if current trends continue.
Recent polls indicate that two new political parties, 'Amcha Israel' led by Ofer Winter and 'Reservists - Economic' headed by Handel and Zelicha, are not expected to surpass the electoral threshold required to enter the Knesset. The results from multiple surveys consistently show both parties falling short of the minimum percentage of votes needed.
Ofer Winter, a former IDF general, is leading the 'Amcha Israel' party, while the 'Reservists - Economic' party is a joint venture of Handel and Zelicha. The failure to cross the electoral threshold, which is 3.25% of the national vote, means that neither party would gain any seats in the Israeli parliament if these poll results were to reflect the final election outcome.
