Channel 13 is reporting a new poll showing Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party leading the Israeli political field with 22 projected seats, edging out Likud at 21. Naftali Bennett's Beyachad follows with 12 seats, while Otzma Yehudit running jointly with Feiglin's party would take 6, and Ofer Winter's new party garners 4. According to the poll's bloc breakdown, the traditional right-religious bloc and the opposing bloc are deadlocked at 53-53 seats, underscoring the continued volatility and fragmentation of Israel's political landscape ahead of any future election. The results suggest no clear path to a governing majority for either side under current alignments, with new entrants like Eisenkot and Winter scrambling the traditional map. Channel 13 did not specify the poll's sample size or margin of error in the reported figures.
