Six days before polls open, a Channel 13 survey shows the opposition bloc with 52 mandates, against just 49 for the coalition bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the poll, the Arab parties together receive 15 mandates, and the reservists' party led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha wins four mandates and may serve as kingmaker. Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael party falls below the threshold with 3.2% of the vote, after winning four mandates in the channel's previous survey. The Haredi Public party also remains outside the Knesset with only 1.2%.
Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party continues to lead with 20 mandates, while Likud strengthens by one mandate to 19. Naftali Bennett's Yachad party holds steady at 14 mandates, and the Democrats under Yair Golan strengthen to 10. The Joint List remains at nine mandates.
Religious Zionism and United Torah Judaism rise to eight mandates each, as does Yisrael Beiteinu under Avigdor Lieberman. Otzma Yehudit and Shas each win seven mandates, and Ra'am receives six. The reservists' party crosses the threshold with four mandates.
Bloc breakdown: opposition bloc with 52 mandates, coalition bloc with 49, Arab parties with 15, and the reservists with four mandates.
