Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party remains the largest in the Knesset, winning 23 seats if elections were held today, a Channel 12 News poll showed Tuesday evening. Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud takes 20 seats, while Naftali Bennett’s Beyahad receives 13.
Overall, Eisenkot’s bloc gains 54 seats compared to 50 for the current coalition. As in all recent surveys, the non-Arab opposition parties cannot form a coalition without the Arab parties, which win 12 seats. The Reservists Party, led by Yoez Hendel and unaligned with either bloc, clears the electoral threshold with four seats.
Yisrael Beiteinu picks up a seat to reach nine, while the Democrats drop a seat to stand at nine as well. United Torah Judaism takes eight seats, unchanged from the channel’s previous survey. Shas holds steady at seven seats, matching the Joint List, which slipped by a seat since the last poll.
Otzma Yehudit remains at six seats, Religious Zionism holds at five, and Ra’am gains a seat to reach five. Ofer Winter’s Amcha Yisrael party and Yoez Hendel and Yaron Zelekha’s Reservists Party win four seats each. As in the previous survey, Benny Gantz’s Kahol Lavan fails to cross the electoral threshold, taking 0.7 percent of the vote.
The poll was conducted by Mano Geva’s Midgam Institute in cooperation with iPanel among 501 respondents out of 2,498 sampled by phone and online. The margin of error is 4.4 percent.
