New figures from the Channel 12 poll, reported by Yair Sharki, show opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot's party with 23 seats, overtaking Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud at 22. Hili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel's parties remain on the edge of the electoral threshold but do not pass, according to the survey.
Updated figures from Monday evening's Channel 12 poll, reported by journalist Yair Sharki, specify that opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party has reached 23 seats, overtaking Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud at 22. The pro-Netanyahu bloc stands at 51 seats, as initially reported. Hili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel's parties remain below the electoral threshold, hovering on the edge.
As The Zioneer reported at 21:24, initial results showed the bloc at 51 and Eisenkot leading by one seat. The new figures provide the exact seat counts.
The poll caps a month-long surge for Eisenkot, who has risen from 20 seats in mid-June to overtaking Likud for the first time. The Zioneer has documented this trend in recent weeks, including a Channel 13 poll on July 8 that showed Eisenkot's party ahead of Likud.
The survey was conducted by Channel 12's N12 and broadcast Monday evening. No margin of error was reported.
