As Israel's election campaign enters its final stretch, pollster and political analyst Shlomo Filber is projecting a clear right-wing victory at the ballot box.

In an interview on the "Pitchi and Zimri Ba'am" program on Galei Israel radio, Filber addressed his recent forecasts and made clear he is not backing away from his core assessment. "I'm not walking back from this thing that in the end it will finish at 63-64 for the right," Filber stated.

At the same time, he detailed the variables and developments that could affect the final distribution of mandates, and called for caution in analyzing the data. "Right now there are two events. One event is that we're taking this carefully because you don't know what the turnout will be among the Arabs. And until the day before yesterday you also didn't know what the turnout would be among the haredim," he said.

According to Filber, the most significant point on the current political map concerns parties hovering near the electoral threshold. "The third most significant thing is that right now two parties are sitting in the middle, right now they're burning between six and seven mandates for both sides," he explained, emphasizing the price the national camp is paying for this. "But they're burning more mandates for the right than for the left bloc," he added.
