Poll: Likud regains lead but opposition bloc still ahead by three seats
The Kan public television poll projects Likud gaining one seat to become the largest party, while the Democrats and Yisrael Beiteinu each win 10. The United Arab List and Religious Zionism also gain ground, while Otzma Yehudit loses a seat
Haaretz reports that a recent poll conducted by the Kantar Institute shows that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has regained the lead in Israeli politics, surpassing former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar. However, the opposition bloc remains ahead by three seats, with a total of 56 seats in the 120-seat Knesset. Despite Netanyahu's Likud gaining one seat, bringing their total to 53, they would still require the support of Arab parties to form a majority government.
