Together party's 27-seat showing falls short of delivering anti-Netanyahu breakthrough

A Walla-published poll shows Bennett and Lapid’s Together party would win 27 seats today, four fewer than Bennett+Lapid previously, while Likud would have 28 and the opposition bloc 59 seats—still short of a 61-seat majority. Netanyahu’s coalition would hold 51 seats, with Arab parties at 10. The result suggests the merger creates a larger party but not a larger anti-Netanyahu bloc; Eisenkot’s potential entry could boost the merged list to about 41 seats, though not enough to flip the balance without Arab party alignment. The poll surveyed 500 people with a 4.4% margin of error.
