The final polls before the 2026 Israeli elections show that the Knesset is likely to fall into coalition deadlock after Tuesday’s vote.
The JC’s analysis of polling conducted by three of the country’s major broadcasters – Channels 11, 12 and 13 – predicts that neither the electoral bloc associated with incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor that of his main rival, Yashar’s Gadi Eisenkot, will reach the majority threshold of 61 Knesset seats.
Yashar is projected to be the largest party in the Knesset, with 22 of the 120 seats, ahead of Netanyahu’s Likud with 20.
Beyachad, the alliance between former prime ministers Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett, is set to come in distant third on 14, and at least seven other parties are expected to win between seven and nine seats each.
