Recent Israeli polls place Likud at an average of 21–23 Knesset seats ahead of the October 27 election, with results ranging from 18–19 in several surveys to 27–32 in others, reflecting high volatility. Security concerns, including recent threats and diplomatic developments, have modestly narrowed the gap between the Netanyahu-aligned bloc and the opposition, while opposition fragmentation among parties led by Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, and others limits any single challenger’s ability to consolidate support. Trader pricing for 20–24 seats as the most probable range aligns with this polling mean and the persistent deadlock that prevents either major bloc from reaching a 61-seat majority. Late campaign shifts on security or turnout could still alter the final distribution.
