  "account": "A recent Israeli election poll reveals a decline for Gadi Eisenkot's bloc, now sitting at 50 Knesset seats, down from 52 last week. The governing coalition, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has gained two seats, reaching 53. Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael party crossed the electoral threshold, securing four seats, while the Arab parties maintained their 13 seats. In a suitability-for-prime-minister question, Eisenkot leads Netanyahu 43 percent to 38 percent. Thirty percent of respondents are still undecided on their vote choice. The poll, conducted by Kantar among 552 respondents, has a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.",
  "summary": "Eisenkot's bloc stands at 50 Knesset seats, down from 52 last week, while the governing coalition rose from 51 to 53, bolstered in part by far-right Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael crossing the electoral threshold",
