Poll Gives Opposition 61-Seat Majority Without Arab Parties

A new election poll gives the Jewish opposition parties 61 Knesset seats, enough for a majority without the Arab parties, while the current coalition falls to 50. Likud remains the largest party at 22 seats, followed by Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar at 21 and Naftali Bennett’s Beyachad at 15. The Democrats receive 11 seats, Yisrael Beytenu 10, and the new Hili Tropper-Yoaz Hendel list clears the threshold with four. Shas and Otzma Yehudit each receive seven seats, Religious Zionism rises to six, and the Arab parties receive nine in total.
