Political analyst Shlomo Filber, Who also serves as a commentator for Channel 14, today (Friday) attacked the poll data of his colleagues, claiming that they are based on misinformation.
He said that the pollsters are underestimating the power of right-wing bloc voters and claimed that there will be "at least 6-7 more seats for the right-wing bloc" than the other pollsters are showing.

In his X account, Filber wrote that, contrary to the data from most polls published in various media outlets, according to which Bezalel Smotrich's religious Zionism does not pass the threshold and will not succeed in entering the next Knesset - "Smotrich passes the threshold in reality, even if his voters boycott the pollsters' panels.".
He also referred to the other partners of the 'Netanyahu bloc' and wrote about the Haredi parties: "The Haredi will receive at least 19 seats in the next elections, maybe 20. They are not disappearing. Check the demographics.".
In response to a surfer who wrote, "I checked the demographics. The number of Haredim of voting age for the Knesset has indeed increased by about 55,000 people since the last elections. They received 18, so now apparently 19," Filber mentioned: "In the last elections they were 8,000 votes away from the 19th mandate.".
As reported in Haredim 10, the polling institute 'Direct Polls', which Shlomo Filber founded together with Zuriel Sharon about six years ago, has signed a long-term exclusive agreement with the news channel i24NEWS.
Filber, who sold his share in Direct Falls about two months ago, continues to be the commentator for Channel 14.
According to the poll published last night on Channel 14, if the elections were held today, the Likud would receive 34 seats, while Bennett's party, which continues to decline in the polls, would receive 14 seats, one seat less than in the previous poll.
The Democrats Party as well as Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu Party each have 11 seats.
In a scenario where Bennett runs in the elections, Shas would receive 10 seats, United Torah Judaism - 8 seats, Otzma Yehudit - 6 seats, and Benny Gantz's Blue and White with only 5 seats, approaching the threshold.
Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid and Religious Zionism also received mandates each.
In terms of the Arab parties: Hadash-Ta'al party - 5 seats, while the Ra'am party gains a seat and stands at 6 seats. The Balad party does not pass the threshold.
The division into blocs: If Bennett runs, the coalition parties will have 63 seats, while the opposition parties will have 46 Knesset members. In addition to the 11 seats of the Arab parties.
