Israel’s first three polls after parties filed their candidate lists put Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc at 52 or 53 seats, below the 61 needed for a Knesset majority. Channel 13’s poll tied the pro-Netanyahu and opposition blocs at 53 seats each, with Arab parties on 14; Yashar led on 22 and Likud followed on 19. Kan 11 put both the Netanyahu and Eisenkot-aligned groupings at 52, excluding Arab parties and the Hendel–Zalicha list. Channel 12 gave Netanyahu’s bloc 52 seats and the Zionist opposition 57, with Arab parties on 11.
