While the pro-Netanyahu bloc is projected to win 54 seats to lead the race, Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar emerges as the largest individual party with 22 seats as Likud slips to 18
***
A Channel 13 poll published Wednesday projects that the bloc of parties supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will win 54 seats, narrowly leading the bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot, which receives 52 seats. However, Likud drops to 18 seats, one fewer than in the previous poll and its lowest tally in recent months.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party and Ofer Winter’s Amcha Yisrael party each gain two seats. Arab parties win 14 seats.
According to the poll, Eisenkot’s Yashar party is the largest with 22 seats, followed by Likud with 18. Naftali Bennett’s Together party drops by one seat to 12, while The Democrats maintain their strength with 10 seats. Otzma Yehudit receives eight seats, down one from the previous poll. Religious Zionism, Yisrael Beiteinu and the Joint List also receive eight seats each.
United Torah Judaism holds seven seats, one fewer than the previous poll, as does Shas. Ofer Winter’s Amcha Yisrael party takes six seats, matching United Arab List. Parties failing to cross the electoral threshold include HaMiluimnikim led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha (3.1 percent) and Blue and White (0.8 percent).
