Likud Leads Together by 1 Seat as Opposition Hits 69 of 120 in Channel 13 Poll

Summary
Channel 13 projected the opposition bloc at 69 of the Knesset’s 120 seats in a Wednesday poll, enough for a clear parliamentary majority if an election were held in 2026.
Likud still ranked as the largest single party, but its lead over Naftali Bennett’s Together narrowed to just one seat as Bennett’s party gained support and Netanyahu’s slipped.
The poll points to a split between party-level strength and bloc-level weakness, with Netanyahu’s party remaining first while the broader opposition holds the stronger coalition math.
With the survey focused on a 2026 vote, the result sharpens attention on Bennett as Netanyahu’s main challenger and on whether the opposition can convert polling strength into a governing coalition.
