New Israeli Election Poll Shows Netanyahu's Bloc at Just 48 Seats A new election poll published Tuesday shows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political bloc winning 48 seats, well short of the 61 needed for a Knesset majority. The survey places former IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party first with 23 seats, ahead of Netanyahu's Likud with 19. The main anti-Netanyahu bloc is projected to win 54 seats, potentially reaching 58 with the Reservists party. With elections scheduled for October 27, neither major political bloc currently appears assured of a governing majority.
