Yashar overtakes Likud, Netanyahu as Zionist opposition bloc nears 61-seat majority - poll

In a surprising political shift, the Yashar bloc has surpassed Likud, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to recent polls. This development suggests a potential 61-seat majority for the Zionist opposition bloc in the Knesset. Meanwhile, the new party by Chili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, although failing to meet the electoral threshold, drew votes away from the Religious Zionist Party, reducing their seats from five to four. This realignment could significantly impact the political landscape and the upcoming elections, signaling a major shift in Israeli political dynamics.
