A recent survey has revealed that if elections were to occur today, the makeup of the political blocs would remain largely unchanged. The Maariv survey indicated that Likud would secure 22 seats in the Knesset, with National Unity coming in second with 17 seats.
In third place would be Yisrael Beytenu, winning 15 seats, while Yesh Atid would capture 14 seats. According to the poll, the newly named “Democrats” – a merger of the Labor and Meretz parties – would garner 12 seats, and the Sephardic-haredi party Shas would win 10.
As for the smaller parties, Otzma Yehudit is expected to receive nine seats, United Torah Judaism would secure seven, and Hadash-Ta’al is predicted to win six. Both Ra’am (the United Arab List) and Religious Zionism are projected to win four seats each.
When grouped by political blocs, the coalition parties would accumulate 52 seats in the Knesset, while the center-left bloc would hold 58 seats. The Arab parties, which typically do not align with any coalition, would claim the remaining 10 seats.

Nothing will change in the government if the unelected judges took themselves all the power.
DEAR STOP THE APATHY.
According to the U.S. Constitution, Article III, judges are not and should not be elected. Elections are for the two other branches of government — you do know that, don’t you? Also, from a constitutional perspective, currently it is the executive branch that is taking all the power, with the acquiescence of the legislative branch. Have you noticed that. Have a Good Shabbos.
Unlike in Israel where judges elect themselves for life, in the US they are elected by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
