A new poll released ahead of the general elections scheduled for October 27 in Israel indicates a decline in support for the bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the Channel 12 television poll, the bloc led by Netanyahu lost 2 seats compared to the previous survey, falling from 53 to 51. The bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot reached 55 seats.
However, neither bloc can reach the 61-seat majority required to form a government in the 120-seat Israeli Parliament on its own.
STATUS OF PARTIES IN THE POLL
In the poll, the Yashar Party led by Gadi Eisenkot ranked first with 23 seats. Netanyahu's Likud Party lost 2 seats, dropping to 19.
It was noted that the Together Party led by Naftali Bennett increased its seat count by 1 to reach 15, and the Amcha Yisrael Party led by Ofer Winter surpassed the electoral threshold to win 4 seats.
The poll also showed that Eisenkot is ahead in preferences for prime minister. While 44 percent of participants preferred Eisenkot, support for Netanyahu remained at 33 percent.
According to the results, the total number of seats for the opposition bloc was calculated at 69. Of this number, 55 come from Zionist parties and 14 from Arab parties.
