A new poll published by Kan 11 News on Sunday evening shows that more than half of respondents, 54%, support holding a televised debate between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot ahead of the elections. The poll projected Yashar to win 22 seats in Israel's 120-seat Knesset, compared with 20 for Likud, led by Netanyahu.
