  "summary": "A recent Kan election poll has revealed that Ofer Winter's People of Israel party and Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party have both crossed the electoral threshold, gaining support at the expense of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit. The poll shows the Joint List overtaking Otzma Yehudit in projected Knesset seats, while Likud has lost three seats and Otzma Yehudit has fallen to seven seats. The opposition bloc has also declined from 57 seats to 55, while the coalition bloc rose slightly from 51 seats to 52. Netanyahu continues to hold a slight lead over Bennett on suitability to serve as prime minister, but Eisenkot leads Netanyahu on the same question.",
