Gadi Eizenkot's Yashar Party Leads with 23 Seats; Beit Tzioni Passes Electoral Threshold
A new Channel 12 poll reveals that the Yashar party, led by Gadi Eizenkot, is currently the largest party in Israel with 23 Knesset seats, despite losing one seat compared to the previous poll. The Likud party follows closely with 22 seats, also down by one.
Naftali Bennett's Yachdav party holds 14 seats after losing one, while the Democratic camp under Yair Golan has 10 seats. Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu and the religious parties Shas, United Torah Judaism, and Otzma Yehudit each secure 8 seats. Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am receive 5 seats apiece, and the Religious Zionism party has 4 seats.
Significantly, the Beit Tzioni party, led by Hili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, crosses the electoral threshold for the first time. Meanwhile, Blue and White under Benny Gantz and Balad under Sami Abu Shehadeh fail to pass the threshold. The poll indicates that with Beit Tzioni entering the Knesset, the anti-Netanyahu bloc expands to 70 seats, while the coalition parties hold only 50 seats.
