Recent polls show Netanyahu’s bloc averaging 52–55 Knesset seats and the main Zionist opposition bloc 49–54 seats, leaving both short of the 61-seat majority needed to form a government as the October 27 election approaches. Trader pricing at 53% for the Netanyahu bloc reflects this narrow edge amid persistent volatility across pollsters, with Likud, Otzma Yehudit, and religious parties holding steady while Yashar, B’Yachad, and the Democrats trade leads in head-to-head support. Surplus-vote agreements, Haredi enlistment debates, and opposition coordination efforts remain active variables. Late shifts in turnout among swing or threshold parties, or any surprise surplus deal, could quickly alter the bloc totals reflected in market prices.
