  "account": "Five polls published on the night of Israel's Knesset 2026 party lists revealed a fragmented political landscape. In four of the surveys, Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party emerged as the largest, while Likud secured the top spot in another i24NEWS poll. Ofer Winter's party crossed the electoral threshold in all five polls, while Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha's list entered only in the KAN News poll.\n\nThe bloc map remained unclear, with two polls showing a tie and the others giving the Zionist opposition bloc an advantage, except for the i24NEWS poll, which showed a significant boost for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc. The seat distribution varied across the polls, with Likud leading in i24NEWS and Channel 13, while Yashar led in Walla and Channel 12. The Joint List, Yisrael Beytenu, and Shas received 7 seats each in most polls, while Religious Zionism and Zehut received 5-6 seats each.",
  "summary": "The bloc averages also show no clear outcome: Netanyahu’s bloc, including Winter, stands at 53.6 seats, compared with 53.4 for the Zionist opposition bloc.",
