  1. Maariv / Lazar poll, fieldwork Sep 30–Oct 1, 2026, published Oct 2, 2026, via Jerusalem Post: jpost.com/israel-election-2026/article-910396.
  2. Channel 13 poll, published Oct 1, 2026 (n=1,013), via Times of Israel liveblog. Reservists–Economic polled below the threshold.
  3. Zman Yisrael / Tatika poll, published Oct 1, 2026 (n=500, margin ±4.4).
  4. Kan 11 poll, published Sep 28, 2026, via Jerusalem Post: jpost.com/israel-election-2026/article-909918. Kan did not report Shas or UTJ separately. The listed parties add up to 106, so Shas and UTJ together hold 14 (our arithmetic: 120 − 106).
  5. Channel 14 / Next Data / Filber poll, published Oct 1, 2026, via skarim.org. Left out of averages and the coalition count: runs well above other polls for Likud (31–32 vs 19–21). Sep 23 and Sep 28 polls also cited; figures marked date-uncertain are the latest in our register without a date.
  6. Blue and White below threshold in all polls; Gantz will drop out in the last week if not crossing: Times of Israel, Sep 20, 2026.
  7. Pledges. Zionist opposition to govern without Arab parties: Haaretz, Oct 1, 2026 (headline). B'Yachad “only rely on Zionist parties”: Times of Israel, Apr 26, 2026; no Arab or Haredi parties: Times of Israel, May 27, 2026. Joint List won't join Netanyahu: Times of Israel, Aug 19, 2026. Eisenkot on Ra'am (“he won't be part of my next government”): Times of Israel, Sep 26, 2026. Lieberman, “not for the Arab parties and not for the haredi parties”: Jerusalem Post, Sep 21, 2025, repeated Oct 3, 2026. UTJ condition (Yaakov Asher): Matzav, Sep 28, 2026.
  8. Surplus-vote agreements. Yashar–Democrats and B'Yachad–Yisrael Beiteinu signed Sep 10, 2026 (Times of Israel). Likud–Religious Zionism agreed Sep 8 (Israel Hayom), reported unsigned Sep 15 (Channel 14); final status not found. Joint List–Ra'am: Ynet, Sep 11, and Jerusalem Post, Sep 13, 2026. Shas–UTJ “expected”: Jerusalem Post, Sep 10, 2026; signing not found. Otzma, People of Israel and Reservists: no partner found (an IPF listing of Reservists with Yisrael Beiteinu is unconfirmed, since Yisrael Beiteinu signed with B'Yachad).
  9. Lists. UTJ order (Asher 1, Goldknopf 2, Porush 4): Davar and Israel Hayom, Sep 8, 2026. Ra'am no. 2 Yoav Segalovitz: Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel, Aug 31, 2026. B'Yachad (Yesh Atid runs inside the list, Lapid no. 2): Times of Israel, Sep 6, 2026; deal signed Apr 25–26, 2026 (Jerusalem Post).
  10. Disqualification and court ruling: Central Elections Committee vote Sep 23, 2026 (Times of Israel); Supreme Court ruling Oct 2, 2026, hearing Oct 1 (Jerusalem Post; Al Jazeera, Oct 2, 2026).
  11. Bloc labels and leaders: Israel Policy Forum 120 Project, updated Sep 24, 2026; Jerusalem Post Sep 7, 2026; Times of Israel Aug 19 and Sep 6, 2026. Reservists–Economic's bloc is disputed (IsraelEd: would join Netanyahu; IPF: “third bloc”; ToI: non-aligned), so it is shown between the blocs.
  12.

Quotes are translated from Hebrew where needed and were seen through summaries; their wording has not yet been checked against the originals.
