  • Mentalist Aviv Dora claims to have accurately predicted the results of recent Israeli Knesset elections.
  • Dora's election prediction was written down, sealed, and revealed live on television after results were known.
  • He also accurately predicted Israel's score and second-place finish in the Eurovision Song Contest.
  • Dora stated his prediction method is similar to influencing one person, but on a larger scale.
  • He previously predicted the outcome of the last Knesset elections and has worked with famous individuals.

Israeli mentalist Aviv Dora has once again claimed to have accurately predicted election results, presenting his forecast on live television. Last week, Dora appeared on Ayelet Hasun's program on Kan 11, where he wrote his election prediction on a note in front of the Knesset speaker and studio panelists. Hasun signed the note, which was then placed in a safe and opened on air this past Saturday evening. Dora revealed the note, showing a prediction of the exact number of Knesset seats each party would receive, which reportedly matched the final results.

Dora previously told ice in February 2025 that he had also predicted the results of the previous Knesset elections, including the seat allocation for each party. When asked about predicting events dependent on millions of votes, he explained that the principle is similar to influencing a single person, just on a larger scale. He stated the prediction was written a week prior and kept locked away.

This is not the first time Dora has made a verifiable numerical prediction. In May, he appeared on Kan 11 after the Eurovision Song Contest, where he claimed to know the exact points Israel would receive. His prediction, written on a note and kept in a safe, stated Israel would finish second with 343 points, which matched the actual outcome.

Dora began his career at age 8, initially as a hobby, discovering he could guess which hand held a coin or the number someone was thinking of. He later began performing for audiences, turning his hobby into a profession. His past clients and encounters include notable figures such as Miriam Adelson, Waze founder Uri Levin, WeWork founder Adam Neumann, and musical acts Imagine Dragons, Martin Garrix, and The Chainsmokers.

Dora is now returning to election predictions after his claimed successes with the Knesset results and the Eurovision outcome. The article poses the question of whether he has succeeded again in making an accurate prediction, inviting viewers to watch a video and judge for themselves.
