A new election poll published by Kan News shows Likud under Netanyahu rising to 24 seats, overtaking Yashar under Eisenkot with 23. The center-right unions of Tropper and Hendel and of Erdan and Edelstein, as well as Blue and White, fail to pass the electoral threshold. The Democrats rise to 10, Yisrael Beiteinu to 10, and Together stabilizes at 13. The Haredi parties are tied at 8 each, Otzma Yehudit 8, Religious Zionism 5.

A new election poll published today (Sunday) in the Kan News broadcast indicates a shift in the seat map: Likud under Benjamin Netanyahu rises to 24 seats, thereby overtaking Yashar under Gadi Eisenkot, which drops to 23. The poll indicates that the recent center-right unions announced - the union of Tropper and Hendel and the union of Erdan and Edelstein - do not pass the electoral threshold, and so does Blue and White under Benny Gantz. The Democrats under Yair Golan rises to ten seats, Yisrael Beiteinu under Avigdor Lieberman rises by one seat also to ten, and the Together party under Naftali Bennett stabilizes at 13 seats. Among the Haredi parties, Shas and United Torah Judaism are tied with 8 seats each. Otzma Yehudit of Ben Gvir stands at 8 seats, and Religious Zionism at 5. The poll also shows that if Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad unite into a joint list, they are expected to have 8 seats without Ra'am, which together with Segalovich is expected to have 5 seats on its own. In such a situation, the Arab parties together equal 13 seats, which would weaken the Netanyahu bloc to 52 seats.
