i24NEWS Poll Shows Bennett’s Party Losing Seats While New Arden-A Edelstein List Fails to Pass Threshold

A new poll conducted by i24NEWS and Direct Polls reveals a decline for Naftali Bennett’s "Together" party, which loses two seats, dropping to seven mandates. The survey, published on Thursday evening, also shows that the new party formed by Gilad Arden and Yuli Edelstein fails to cross the electoral threshold.

If elections were held today, Likud would remain the largest party despite losing one seat, holding 28 mandates. Gadi Eizenkot’s party gains two seats, reaching 23 mandates. Other parties include the Democrats led by Yair Golan with 10 seats, United Torah Judaism increasing to nine, and Yisrael Beiteinu maintaining nine mandates. Otzma Yehudit holds steady at eight seats, Shas drops by one to eight, and the Joint List gains one seat to eight mandates.

Religious Zionism and Ra’am each maintain five seats. Several parties fail to pass the threshold, including the Zionist Home party of Hendel and Troper, the new Arden-Edelstein party, Zehut led by Moshe Feiglin, Blue and White under Benny Gantz, the Economic Party led by Yaron Zelekha, and Noam led by Avi Maoz.

Regarding bloc distribution, the coalition holds 58 seats, three short of the 61 needed for a majority government. The opposition has 49 seats, while Arab parties collectively hold 13 mandates.
