What happened

01Four recent polls show Gadi Eisenkot's party leading Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud ahead of elections.
02No political bloc is projected to reach the 61 seats needed for a majority government.
03The Zionist opposition bloc averages 51.25 seats, while Netanyahu's bloc averages 51 seats.
04Smaller parties near the electoral threshold could significantly influence the final seat distribution.
05The "Reservists-Economic" party led by Hendel and Zelekha averages 3 seats.
06Ofer Winter's "Amcha Israel" party fails to pass the electoral threshold in most polls.

Smaller parties, particularly those near the electoral threshold like the "Reservists-Economic" list, could be decisive in forming a government. The outcome may hinge on whether these smaller parties pass the threshold.
