54 seats are not the end of the story: the scenario presented by the senior pollster

Pollster Menachem Lazar analyzes the polls and explains that the small parties hovering near the electoral threshold will decide the elections. He notes a rise of the 'Together' party to 14 seats, but emphasizes this is a shift within the bloc. Lazar estimates that the high voter turnout in the opposition may give it an advantage, and that no bloc will reach a clear majority.

Pollster Menachem Lazar, in an interview with 103FM, analyzes the state of the polls ahead of the elections and explains that the small parties hovering near the electoral threshold will decide the outcome. According to him, voters are undecided until the last moment whether to vote for a small party or switch to another party within the same bloc, making it difficult to predict the results. Lazar addresses the rise of the 'Together' party to 14 seats in the latest poll, but emphasizes that this is mainly a shift within the opposition bloc, which does not change the overall balance between the blocs. He notes that the expected voter turnout in the opposition bloc is higher than in the coalition, which may give the opposition additional seats beyond the 54 mentioned in the latest poll. Lazar estimates that no bloc will reach a clear majority of 61 seats, and considers scenarios such as a minority government or repeat elections, although most politicians would not want that.
