🇮🇱 - Ma'ariv's latest opinion poll:

Likud continues to hold a steady lead, with 26 seats, but 35 short of securing a victory on their own. Likud-bloc (Likud + Shas + Otzma Yehudit + Mafdal + Tikva Hadasha) have just 49 seats together, 12 short of securing a majority in the Knesset. Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid continues to drop rapidly. Kahol Lavan, led by the returning Benny Gantz, collapsed after Gadi Eisenkot left the party. The two Arab parties, United Arab List and Hadash-Ta'al, have 11 seats combined. Any possible coalition of the center-left bloc also fails to secure a majority. Both, the right and the left blocs, will need the ultra-Orthodox Yisrael Beiteinu and United Torah Judaism again to win any upcoming elections - Lieberman joining a coalition with Netanyahu ever again is very unlikely.

- Benjamin Netanyahu, Likud Party - 26 seats,
- Naftali Bennett, Bennett 2026 Party - 22 seats,
- Avigdor Lieberman, Yisrael Beiteinu Party - 10 seats,
- Aryeh Deri, Shas Party - 9 seats,
- Yair Golan, Democrats Party - 8 seats,
- Yitzhak Goldknopf, United Torah Judaism Party - 7 seats,
