A poll of seats by the Panels Politics Institute, led by Menachem Lazar, published this morning (Friday) in Maariv, shows that if the elections had taken place today, a new government could not have been formed. It seems that again the national camp bloc is very close to the 61 seats needed, but not yet there.
The Likud party led by Benjamin Netanyahu would have won the next Knesset election for 34 seats, Yesh Atid led by Yair Lapid maintains its power as the second largest party and receives 21 seats in the current poll.
The Religious Zionist Party, led by Bezalel Smutrich, together with Otzma Yehudit and Itamar Ben Gvir, stands in the new poll of 11 seats, while the right, led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, drops to only a 5-seat low in the next Knesset.
