After Gadi Eisenkot launched his "Yashar" party: Data from a mandate survey conducted by Shlomo Filber and published this evening (Thursday) on Channel 14 indicates that if the elections were held today, the person who would be most affected by the former MK's political move would be Yair Lapid, with half of his party's mandates going to Eisenkot - which indicates that most of the new party's voters are at this stage in the Yesh Atid basket.

According to the data, Likud remains the largest party in Israel by a significant margin over the next largest party, with 33 seats, one less than it received in the previous poll. Bennett gains one seat and receives 15 seats.

The Democratic Party led by Yair Golan receives 11 seats, a decrease of one seat from the previous poll.

Shas, Yisrael Beiteinu, and United Torah Judaism remain unchanged and receive 11, 8, and 8 seats, respectively.

Otzma Yehudit also maintains its strength and stands at 7 seats. Gadi Eisenkot's new party, Yashar, receives 5 seats. Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am each receive 5 seats, as they received in the previous poll.

Religious Zionism loses a mandate and stands at 4 mandates.

Yesh Atid is almost wiped out and stands at the threshold with 4 seats compared to 8 in the previous poll, as mentioned in light of the launch of Eisenkot's party. Gantz's Blue and White remains unchanged with 4 seats.

Balad does not pass the threshold.
