  "summary": "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. Despite Yashar's lead over Likud, the poll showed Netanyahu's political bloc winning 53 seats, compared with 50 for Eisenkot's bloc, giving the prime minister's camp a three-seat advantage.",
