I wish they'd list which parties they're considering part of each bloc and the sub totals.
This was always going to be a bunch of politiking at this point to get some party to switch sides by giving them a ministership that the size of their party wouldn't normally justify.
Also, Chan14 is really silly to say 60 MKs, given that you need 61 and it's so far out from everyone else's data. It's as big of a number as they can say without having too much egg on their face later.
I don't know anything about Israel politics and who pollsters are affiliated to, but either that Fiber pollster is a genius or it picked a very biased sample.
They're normally really good, but this is a wild election. Tons of people flying in (you can't vote absentee in most cases in Israel (except settlers in the occupied territories)), and record Arab Israeli turnout mean that a lot of the models that they would use to remove sampling bias aren't that accurate.
Can update from personal experience that the polls were busier than I've ever seen, which made me happy despite the long wait.
I hope there won't be a reelection as it won't get that much of a momentum.

This account (@israel_elects) posted all individual exit polls before the summary, so you can look them up on their timeline.

Chan14 is basically the OAN of Israel.
How reliable are Israeli exit polls generally?
