A new election poll gives Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar 24 Knesset seats, ahead of Likud on 22. The coalition parties total 50 seats, the opposition 59 and Arab parties 11, one fewer coalition seat than the previous published poll. In head-to-head suitability, Eisenkot leads Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by 44% to 34%; Naftali Bennett leads Netanyahu 39% to 37%, while Netanyahu leads Avigdor Liberman 35% to 28%. An Ofer Winter party scenario lowers Likud to 21 and pushes Religious Zionism below the threshold, producing coalition 49, opposition 60 and Arab parties 11.
