A new mandate poll by Kan News shows a tie between the Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Yashar party led by Gadi Eisenkot. Data analysis indicates that both parties receive 23 mandates each.

In third place is the Beyahad party, founded by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, with 13 mandates. As previously noted, the party had reached 15 mandates in earlier polls; it is now weakening significantly and continues to disappoint its supporters.

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, chairman of the Otzma Yehudit party, holds the next position with 9 mandates, matching the total of Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party.

Unlike other polls, Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, stands in sixth place with 8 mandates. The Shas and United Torah Judaism parties garner 8 mandates each. Hadash-Ta'al holds 6 mandates, Ra'am has 5, and the Religious Zionism party receives 4 mandates.

An interesting figure emerging from the poll is that a union of Chili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel would bring a total of 4 mandates. Looking at the balance of power, the change bloc manages to achieve 57 mandates, while the Netanyahu bloc receives 52. The Arab parties hold 11 mandates.
