Poll: Coalition bloc wins more mandates than Bennett bloc
The party of Bennett and Lapid strengthens slightly but is far from forming a government and to do so will need to rely on all the Arab MKs.
Assessment
The poll shows the coalition bloc gaining more seats than the Bennett-Lapid camp, which remains unable to form a government without relying on Arab lawmakers. This underscores the persistent fragmentation of the anti-Netanyahu bloc and the strategic deadlock in Israeli politics. The key question is whether the coalition can maintain its narrow majority or if defections will force new elections.
