Netanyahu received the most votes in Israel, says a survey. However, the opposition is overall stronger.

In the recent Israeli parliamentary elections, Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is projected to secure the most seats, with estimates of 24 to 25 mandates. The opposition party Yashar, headed by former chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, is expected to gain 21 to 22 mandates. Despite this, a coalition of four opposition parties appears to have an edge over the current government coalition. Voter turnout has significantly increased, reaching over 74% by two hours before polls closed.
