With two days until election: Eisenkot leads over Netanyahu, but neither can reach majority - poll

The average gap between the two major blocs stands at 4.5 seats, with neither reaching the 61-seat majority needed to form a government.

With just two days remaining until Israel's election, the latest polls reveal a tight race between Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party and incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, as neither holds enough seats to secure a majority in the 120-member Knesset. The polls also suggest that the distribution of seats could be significantly impacted by the election's electoral threshold, which neither major bloc has managed to cross.

The Maariv, Channel 13, and KAN 11 polls all indicate that neither Netanyahu nor his political rivals have a clear path to forming a government, leaving the balance of power uncertain and potentially affecting coalition negotiations.
