The mandate poll published today (Thursday) by i24NEWS presents particularly surprising data. When asked if elections were held today, Likud maintains its strength as the largest party. The full data shows: Likud: 24 seats, the National Unity Party: 21 seats, Yisrael Beiteinu: 15 seats, Yesh Atid: 11 seats, Shas: 10 seats, The Democrats: 9 seats, United Torah Judaism: 8 seats, Otzma Yehudit: 8 seats, Hadash-Ta'al: 6 seats, Religious Zionism: 4 seats, Ra'am: 4 seats, and the National Right and Balad did not pass the electoral threshold.

The bloc map is as follows: the right bloc with 54 seats, the opposition with 66 seats, including 10 from the Arab parties.

In response to the question, "If Naftali Bennett were to lead a new party, which party would you vote for?", the numbers appear almost unbelievable. A new party led by Naftali Bennett: 29 seats, Likud: 21 seats, the National Unity Party: 13 seats, Yesh Atid: 9 seats, Shas: 9 seats, Yisrael Beiteinu: 8 seats, The Democrats: 8 seats, United Torah Judaism: 7 seats, Otzma Yehudit: 7 seats, Hadash-Ta'al: 5 seats, Religious Zionism: 4 seats, while the National Right, Ra'am, and Balad do not pass the electoral threshold.

In response to the question, "Do you support continuing the fighting against Hezbollah or a ceasefire with Hezbollah?", the majority supports continuing the fighting. Continuing the fighting: 63%, ceasefire: 28%, don’t know: 9%.

The poll was conducted by the research institute "Maharat Makhon" led by Professor Yitzhak Katz on September 26 via an internet panel and phone survey, among 509 respondents from the adult Israeli population (18+). Statistical error: 4.4%.
