TL;DR

A new poll by Channel 14 and pollster Shlomo Filber shows Likud at 33 seats, Yisrael Beytenu at 21, and the Democrats at 10. Several parties, including Zehut, Yisrael-Tropper, and Kahol Lavan, fall below the electoral threshold.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A new poll by Channel 14 and pollster Shlomo Filber, published Thursday evening, shows Likud leading with 33 seats, Yisrael Beytenu surging to 21, and the Democrats at 10. Shas and Yahadut HaTorah each hold 10 and 8 seats respectively, while Bechad (the joint Haredi list) gains 8. Otzma Yehudit stands at 7, HaTzionut HaDatit at 5, and the Joint List and Ra'am at 5 each.

The results differ notably from earlier polls today. An i24NEWS poll published Thursday evening showed Likud at 29, with the anti-Netanyahu opposition bloc at 62 seats. An Israel Hayom poll from Thursday afternoon showed the Tropper party passing the electoral threshold with 4 seats, drawing support from both blocs. In the Channel 14 poll, the Tropper party (Ysodot Yisrael-Tropper) falls below the threshold with 1.6%, as do Zehut (1.8%) and Kahol Lavan (0.8%).

The survey reflects a significant rightward shift compared to recent polls, with Yisrael Beytenu emerging as the second-largest party. The pro-Netanyahu bloc appears strengthened, though exact bloc totals depend on which parties are considered coalition or opposition. The poll was conducted by Shlomo Filber, a pollster associated with Channel 14's right-leaning editorial stance.
