  "summary": "Channel 12's poll, conducted by the Midgam Institute and iPanel, indicates that the Eisenkot bloc, led by Yashar, is one seat short of securing a majority without the support of Arab parties. The bloc includes Jewish parties such as Yashar (24 seats), Likud (22 seats), Together (15 seats), the Democrats (11 seats), and Yisrael Beiteinu (10 seats). Notably absent from crossing the electoral threshold are Zionist Home, Balad, Kahol Lavan, and Unity. The poll, with a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points, suggests no change from the previous week's projection.",
