A Kan 11 poll published Sunday evening projects 57 seats for Jewish parties opposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, up one seat from last week.
Despite the widening gap between the coalition parties, which are projected to win 52 seats, and the Eisenkot bloc, the poll shows that the anti-Netanyahu bloc still falls short of a majority without the Arab parties. The Arab parties are projected to win 11 seats, unchanged from last week, divided between Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am.

Compared with last week’s poll, which showed Likud gaining strength, the party fell by one seat and is now projected to win 23 seats, tying Yashar for the largest party. Together, led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, remains the third-largest party, with 14 seats – up one from last week.
Three parties share fourth place with 10 seats each: Yisrael Beiteinu, the Democrats and Otzma Yehudit. Yisrael Beiteinu and the Democrats held steady, while Otzma Yehudit gained two seats.
United Torah Judaism also maintained its strength at eight seats. Shas, meanwhile, fell by one seat to seven. Hadash-Ta’al gained one seat to reach six, while Ra’am lost one and is projected to win five. Religious Zionism also fell by one seat, to four.
As in last week’s poll and a series of previous surveys, Zionist Home, a new centrist party led by Yoaz Hendel and Chili Tropper; Balad; Kahol Lavan; and Unity, led by Gilad Erdan, former Israeli UN ambassador and senior Likud figure, and Yuli Edelstein, fail to cross the electoral threshold.
Zionist Home is projected to receive 3 percent of the vote, while Balad is projected at 1.9 percent, Kahol Lavan at 1.4 percent and Unity at 1.3 percent.
The poll was conducted by Kantar Institute, headed by Dudu Hasid, and included 1,103 respondents. The margin of error is 2.9 percent.
