Three weeks before the 2026 elections, the poll of polls by Maariv, Channel 13, and Kan News indicates a tight race: Yashar! led by Gadi Eisenkot leads with an average of 21.7 seats, Likud with 19.7, and the Netanyahu bloc and the Zionist opposition are tied at about 52.3 seats each. Neither bloc reaches a majority of 61.
Three weeks before the Knesset elections, the joint poll of polls by Maariv, Channel 13, and Kan News paints a picture of a tight race with no clear outcome. The average of the polls places the Yashar! party led by Gadi Eisenkot in first place with 21.7 seats, followed by Likud led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with 19.7 seats. Naftali Bennett's Yamina is in third place with 11.7 seats, the Democrats with 10, and Yisrael Beiteinu with 9. Otzma Yehudit receives 8 seats, United Torah Judaism 7.3, Shas 7, and Religious Zionism and Zehut 6 each. Ofir Winter's Am Yisrael stands at an average of 4.3 seats. The bloc picture shows near-total equality: the Netanyahu bloc (including Am Yisrael) receives 52.3 seats, exactly the same as the Zionist opposition. The Arab parties receive an average of 12.7 seats, and the Handel-Zlicha list (Reservists-Economic) stands at 2.7 seats, below the electoral threshold. The gaps between the different polls and the status of parties around the electoral threshold are expected to determine the battle for forming the government.
