Israeli media networks are preparing for the upcoming October 27, 2026 elections, with Channel 14 unveiling its upgraded studio and special poll coverage.

With under two weeks until the Knesset elections, Shas chairman Aryeh Deri predicts the right-wing bloc could secure up to 66 mandates, warning against wasted votes for smaller parties.

A petition filed with the Central Election Committee accuses pollster Next Data and Channel 14 of misleading the public through manipulative survey questions and undisclosed methodologies.

Pollster Shlomo Filber responded to an attack by Channel 12 News correspondent Ilan Lukatch, after the latter harshly criticized Channel 14 polls over the weekend and even used the results of the Bar Association elections to claim a "history of failures."

Shlomo Filber claimed in an interview with Yaara Zered that about four years ago, hours before exit polls were published, the studio received a call proposing coordination between pollsters, which was rejected outright.
