A new Channel 14 mandate poll conducted by Shlomo Filber shows stability in the right-wing bloc with 62 mandates and Likud leading confidently with 31 mandates, while Gadi Eisenkot's "Yashar" party receives 22 mandates.


A new Channel 14 mandate poll, conducted by Shlomo Filber through the company NEXT DATA and published today (Tuesday), presents a particularly stable political picture. According to the poll data, the right-wing bloc maintains its strength and reaches a solid majority of 62 mandates, while the left-wing bloc stands at only 48 mandates. The Arab parties win ten mandates in this poll together. The Likud party led by Benjamin Netanyahu continues to lead confidently as the largest list in the Knesset.

In the detailed distribution of mandates, the Likud leads with 31 mandates, followed by the “Yashar” party led by Gadi Eisenkot, which receives 22 mandates. The Shas party wins 11 seats, and the Democrats party receives 10 seats. United Torah Judaism, Yisrael Beiteinu, and the Bennett-Lapid party receive eight seats each. The Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionist parties win six seats each, while the Arab parties Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am receive five seats per list.

Several parties remain below the threshold in this survey, including Balad with 2.9%, the Zionist Home or Reservists party led by Hili Troper and Yoaz Hendel with 1.9%, the Zehut party led by Moshe Feiglin with 1.3%, Ofer Winter with 1.2%, Gilad Erdan with 0.7% and the Blue and White party with only 0.5%. These figures highlight the inability of these small lists to break through the threshold required to enter the Knesset at this stage.
