Poll Shows Netanyahu Bloc Shrinking Ahead of Elections

Poll Shows Netanyahu Bloc Shrinking Ahead of Elections

A Channel 13 poll shows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition bloc dropping to 49 seats, while opposition parties hold 52 seats, just days before the Knesset elections. The "Amcha Yisrael" party, led by Ofer Winter, fell below the electoral threshold, potentially impacting coalition calculations. Gadi Eisenkot's "Yashar" party leads with 20 seats, and Eisenkot also polled better than Netanyahu as preferred prime minister. Additionally, a majority of Israelis expressed concerns about election integrity.

Israel Bans Mortgage Advisor Perks, Insurance Agents Next

Israel Bans Mortgage Advisor Perks, Insurance Agents Next

Israel's Capital Markets Authority has banned non-bank credit companies from giving perks to mortgage advisors, effective January 2027, to curb conflicts of interest. This move follows a two-year review and aims to prevent advisors from being incentivized to push loans. Regulators also see a need to reform insurance agent incentives, where similar conflicts exist, though past reform attempts have been blocked by industry lobbying. The authority's action is considered a significant first step towards broader financial intermediation reform.
