Poll shows pro-Netanyahu bloc pulling even with opponents, in sharp shift

According to a new survey released by Israeli television media, the bloc supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has managed to close the gap with its opponents, with both factions now holding 53 seats each. These figures represent a noticeable shift in the current political landscape, although both blocs remain well short of the majority required to form a government. Analysts suggest that this shift is largely influenced by the predicted entry of Ofer Winter into the Knesset, as well as the merger between the Religious Zionism and Zehut parties. Despite these developments, neither side is currently able to secure the 61 seats necessary to form a cabinet.
