According to the survey conducted by Menachem Lazar, director of Panels Politics, if the elections were held today, the Likud would receive 29 seats and Yamina 23. In a survey conducted a week ago, the gap was only 3 seats, with the Likud party receiving 27 seats and Yamina 24. According to the current survey, Yesh Atid-Telem of MK Yair Lapid is gaining in seats - to 19 seats, the Joint List is unable to get out of the slump following internal conflicts and is stuck with 11 seats.

The other three parties - Yisrael Beiteinu (8 seats), United Torah Judaism (7 seats) and Meretz (6 seats) maintain stability. In the current survey, Labor led by MK Amir Peretz, Otzma Yehudit led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Habayit Hayehudi led by Rabbi and Minister Rafi Peretz, and Gesher led by Orly Levy-Abekasis do not pass the threshold. Analysis of the results also shows that the Likud-Haredi bloc increased its strength by 2 seats compared to the previous survey to 44 seats. 548 members of the Panels respondent panel participated in the survey, and the maximum sampling error is 4.3%.
