A new poll conducted for Maariv indicated that if elections were held today, the Yashar! party led by Gadi Eisenkot would top the Likud party by a large margin.

According to the poll, in such a scenario, Yashar! would win 26 Knesset seats, while the Likud would win 20 seats.

Third-largest would be former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid's "Together" party with 14 Knesset seats.

Yisrael Beytenu and the Democrats would win 10 seats each, while Otzma Yehudit is projected to win nine seats. Ashkenazic-haredi United Torah Judaism (UTJ) would win eight seats, while Sephardic-haredi Shas would win seven seats. The Arab Hadash-Ta'al would win six seats.

Smallest in the Knesset are the Religious Zionist party and the United Arab List (Ra'am), projected to win five seats each.

Divided into blocs, the center-left would win 60 Knesset seats, while the current coalition parties will win 49 seats. The remaining seats would go to the Arab parties; these traditionally do not join any coalition, but Ra'am leader MK Mansour Abbas has expressed interest in joining the next coalition in order to unseat the current right-wing government.

Failing to pass the electoral threshold are "Zionist Home" headed by Hilli Tropper and Yoaz Hendel; the "Economic" party lead by Yaron Zelekha; a new party headed by Ofer Winter; the Arab "Balad" party; Benny Gantz's "Blue and White" party; and "Unity" lead by Gilad Erdan.
