A recent survey by Channel 13 has revealed that if elections were held today, a right-wing party led by Naftali Bennett, former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, Avigdor Liberman and Gideon Sa’ar would receive 32 mandates. This places them ahead of other parties, with the state camp led by Benny Gantz coming in at 25 mandates, followed by Likud with 21 mandates and Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid with 13 mandates.
Interestingly, the survey also showed that Sa’ar’s party may not pass the electoral threshold if it were to run alone. The poll suggested that a bloc of Netanyahu’s opponents would win 63 mandates, without the Hadash-Ta’al votes, while Netanyahu supporters would secure 53 mandates. Additionally, a majority of 58% of the public supports the proposed hostage deal, according to the survey results.

National Unity – 25
Likud – 21
Yesh Atid – 13
Yisrael Beytenu – 12
