  "summary": "In a recent poll, the Yashar party led by Gadi Eisenkot has emerged as the largest party with 24 seats, taking a one-seat lead over Likud who secured 23 seats. The poll, conducted by KAN News, also shows that the overall bloc picture remains unchanged from the previous poll, with Likud and the opposing bloc each winning 52 seats, while the Arab parties retain a combined 11 seats. The poll also revealed that Likud's primaries were more contentious and competitive than in previous years, with Energy Minister Eli Cohen securing the top spot on Likud's Knesset slate.",
