A new Right? Winter’s ‘Amcha Yisrael’ could secure six seats, at expense of Smotrich's RZP - poll

Although the Religious Zionism Party also received six seats, it would fail to cross the threshold to enter Knesset, according to the Wendesday poll.

A new poll suggests that Ofer Winter's newly formed Amcha Yisrael Party could secure six seats in the upcoming Knesset election, potentially at the expense of the Religious Zionist Party led by Bezalel Smotrich, who received only 2.6% of the vote and failed to meet the electoral threshold. The poll also indicates that Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc would receive only 43 seats, falling short of the majority needed to form a government even with Winter's party joining the coalition.

The poll highlights a significant shift in the national camp following Winter's entry into politics, with Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar Party leading the poll with 25 seats, followed by Likud with 21 seats, and B Yachad with 15 seats.
