A recent survey conducted by Channel 13 suggests a shift in Israel's political landscape, showing a decline in support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing bloc. According to the data, the coalition has dropped four seats in projected polling, moving further away from the 61-seat majority required to control the Knesset.

The poll attributes this change to the potential electoral success of a new, unaligned party led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha. If this party crosses the electoral threshold, it would enter the Knesset, effectively redistributing the seat balance and complicating the path for both the current governing coalition and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot. The survey highlights that, as it stands, neither the current government nor the opposition bloc is currently positioned to secure a clear majority in the legislature.

Separately, the report notes developments regarding international infrastructure projects in the region. Israel has reportedly blocked a U.S. firm from breaking ground on a base intended for international troops in Gaza. This decision adds a layer of diplomatic complexity to the current political climate, though the poll focuses primarily on the domestic electoral math rather than the specific implications of the Gaza base decision on the coalition's stability.
