According to a political analysis, ten Knesset seats from parties advocating national unity are being lost beneath the electoral threshold. The assessment adds that even without those wasted votes, the separate campaigns of Yoaz Hendel and Benny Gantz also fail to cross the 3.25% threshold.
According to a political analysis published on the Zioneer the source, ten Knesset seats from parties that advocate national unity are being wasted beneath the electoral threshold. The assessment further argues that even without those wasted votes, the separate campaigns of Yoaz Hendel and Benny Gantz fail to cross the 3.25% threshold.
The analysis comes amid a series of polls conducted over the past month that have tracked the electoral performance of centrist and unity-oriented blocs. Earlier polls by N12 (June 26), i24NEWS (July 9), and Israel Hayom (July 9) showed varying results for Gantz, Hendel, and other factions, with some polls showing them crossing the threshold and others not. The current assessment suggests that the fragmentation of the center-right vote continues to cost seats that could otherwise be consolidated.
It remains unclear which specific parties the analysis refers to as 'seekers of unity,' and the assessment does not provide a detailed breakdown of the wasted mandates. The analysis is one of several ongoing commentaries on the electoral landscape ahead of the next election.
