A new Maariv poll finds that if elections were held today, the center-left bloc would secure 61 seats in the Knesset, enough to form a narrow coalition without relying on the Arab parties. The 'Together' party led by former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid would emerge as the largest faction with 26 seats, followed closely by Likud with 25 seats.

Gadi Eisenkot’s 'Yashar!' party would win 16 seats, while the Democrats would secure 10. Shas and Yisrael Beytenu would each receive nine seats, Otzma Yehudit eight, and United Torah Judaism seven. The Arab parties Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am would each win five seats, while several smaller parties would fail to cross the electoral threshold.

Alternative scenarios examined in the poll suggest that mergers among certain parties could slightly shift seat totals but would still leave the center-left bloc with a path to forming a government. Even in the case of a joint list between Together, Yashar!, and Yisrael Beytenu, the center-left would remain competitive, though its majority would narrow.
