With five days remaining until the 26th Knesset elections, recent polls from Channel 12 News indicate significant shifts in the Israeli political map. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's party has seen a notable surge, reaching 15 seats, a level not seen in two months. This marks a dramatic turnaround after a period of decline since his return to politics and the formation of the "Beitech" party with Yair Lapid, which had previously peaked at 26 seats.
Gadi Eisenkot, leading the Yishar party, remains stable and is consistently polling ahead of current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in suitability for the premiership, with a double-digit lead in recent surveys. Eisenkot's party has also consistently outperformed Netanyahu's Likud party in seat projections. However, Yishar saw a slight dip to 23 seats in the latest poll, following the integration of the Reserve Soldiers-Economic party and Amcha Israel into its ranks.
The Likud party has fallen below 20 seats for the first time in the current election cycle, polling at 19 seats. This represents a significant drop from its peak of 28 seats in March. Prime Minister Netanyahu's standing in suitability for premiership has also weakened, being overtaken by both Eisenkot and Bennett in recent polls.
Two parties are currently on the cusp of the electoral threshold. Ofer Winter's Amcha Israel party has crossed the threshold in the latest poll after a campaign targeting the party, but the danger of not passing still looms. Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha's Reserve Soldiers-Economic party is also at risk, having failed to pass the threshold in two consecutive polls, though it remains close to entering the Knesset.
The opposition bloc against Netanyahu has grown, now comprising 69 seats, including 55 from Zionist parties and 14 from Arab parties. This is an increase from earlier polls, with the bloc against Netanyahu gaining three seats over the past month, while Netanyahu's bloc has gained one seat. The shifts are partly attributed to the performance of Hendel and Zelicha's party.
