01 · THE DISPATCH

A poll published Thursday by Tactica Research and Media for the Zeit newspaper shows Likud and Yesh Atid tied at 23 seats each — the first time the two parties have been level as the largest in the Knesset. The right-wing coalition bloc totals 50 seats, while the opposition bloc stands at 60. The survey marks a shift from recent polls, which showed Likud leading at 22-23 seats and Yesh Atid trailing at 16-17, as The Zioneer reported in a June 11 Channel 13 poll. Notably, the Arab-mandate parties are not specified, but their typical alignment with the opposition aligns with the gap. The poll's sample size and margin of error were not disclosed in the message.
