Hendel and Zelekha cross threshold as Eisenkot bloc loses ground
Hendel and Zelekha's new party and Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael each cross the electoral threshold with four mandates. The Netanyahu bloc remains at 52, while Gadi Eisenkot's opposition bloc falls to 51
According to a recent poll by Israel's Kan public broadcaster, the Reservists Party, led by Yoaz Hendel, is set to cross the electoral threshold following the addition of former accountant general Yaron Zelekha. The party is projected to win four mandates, matching the number of mandates won by Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael party.
The Netanyahu bloc, currently holding 52 mandates, maintains its strength excluding Hendel and Zelekha. Meanwhile, the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot is projected to lose four mandates and win 51 mandates. The poll, conducted by the Kantar Institute, shows a decline in mandates for Yashar, Likud, and the Together party, while the Arab parties maintain their combined strength at 13 mandates.
