On the other hand, the center-left bloc has only 48 seats, while the Arab parties receive 10 seats.

In the opposition bloc, significant changes are being recorded in the internal balance of power: Gadi Eisenkot's left-wing Yashar party is establishing itself as the second largest party with 23 seats - an increase of two seats from the previous poll, while Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid's Behad party is losing a seat and dropping to only seven seats.

The Democratic Party receives 12 seats - an increase of one seat, Shas receives 10 seats, and Otzma Yehudit increases by one seat - to 8 seats. United Torah Judaism loses a seat and receives only 7 seats.
