Yashar, the centrist party led by former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, faces a tight seat projection ahead of Israel's October 27 election because recent polls place it at 22-23 mandates, roughly even with Likud while opposition and Netanyahu-aligned blocs hover near 52 seats each. Late September surveys from Kan and others showed Yashar slipping one seat to 23 while Likud gained one to 21, with smaller lists like B'Yachad and the Democrats fluctuating around 9-11 seats. Final candidate slates submitted without major mergers locked in separate runs for centrist factions, preserving vote fragmentation and leaving coalition math dependent on threshold crossings and Arab-party dynamics. Traders price the 22-25 seat range highest as polling variance and bloc arithmetic continue to limit separation in the final weeks.
