Gadi Eizenkot's Yashar Party Surges to 25 Seats, Surpassing Bennett's Yachdut

A new poll by Zman Israel, conducted by political consultant Yossi Tatika and Adgenda panel led by Roy Shindler, shows former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot's party Yashar reaching a record high of 25 Knesset seats. This surge comes mainly at the expense of Naftali Bennett's Yachdut party, which fell to 13 seats. The ruling Likud party remains stable with 21 seats ahead of its upcoming primaries in four days.

Other parties include Yisrael Beiteinu with 11 seats, the Democrats with 9, and the ultra-Orthodox factions Yahadut HaTorah and Shas each holding 8 seats. Otzma Yehudit has 7 seats, while Hadash-Ta'al-Balad, Religious Zionism, and Ra'am each have 6 seats. Ra'am maintains its strength despite reports of MK Yoav Segalovich leaving Yesh Atid to join as Mansour Abbas's deputy.

The political blocs remain largely unchanged, with Netanyahu supporters holding 50 seats and the opposition bloc at 58 seats, alongside 12 seats for Arab parties. Below the electoral threshold, about 6% of votes are split among three right-center parties: Beit Tzioni (Yoaz Hendel and Hili Tropper) at 3%, Blue and White (Benny Gantz) at 2%, and the new Achdut party (Gilad Erdan and Yuli Edelstein) at 1%.
