Yashar takes lead over Likud as Arab parties projected to receive 10 seats - poll
The poll also scrutinized how voters would react to a scenario in which Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad united to run as a joint list, or if a so-called "third bloc" formed.
A recent Channel 12 News poll reveals a significant shift in Israel's political landscape, with Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party moving to the top with 24 Knesset seats. This is one seat above a previous poll, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party falls to second place with 22 seats. Naftali Bennett's B Yachad party holds third place with 15 seats, while Yair Golan's Democrats and Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu each gain support, rising to 11 and 10 seats respectively.
The ultra-Orthodox parties remain largely unchanged, with United Torah Judaism at eight seats and Shas at seven. The two Arab parties, Hadash-Ta al and Ra am, each receive five seats. Other parties below the electoral threshold include The Zionist Home – The Reservists, led by Hili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, at 2.7%, and Balad at 1.6%.
