Overview
- A Channel 12 poll reported by Haaretz projects 71 seats for opposition parties versus 49 for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition if elections were held now.
- A Maariv survey reported by Israel National News also places the coalition at 49 seats, with 61 for the center-left and 10 for Arab parties that typically do not join governments.
- Likud remains the largest single party in both snapshots but weakened, drawing roughly 24–25 seats compared with stronger showings in past cycles.
- Channel 12's testing shows a hypothetical Bennett–Eisenkot joint list could lead with about 30 seats, reshaping the map and overtaking Likud.
- Maariv's scenario with new entrants estimates Bennett's party at 20 seats and Eisenkot's Yashar! at nine, with smaller parties distributed across the remaining seats.
