Poll: Bennett-Lieberman Alliance Would Secure 30 Seats

A survey carried out by the Midgam Institute for Channel 12 indicates that if Israelis went to the polls today, Likud would secure 24 seats, while a new party headed by Naftali Bennett would capture 19 seats.

The poll further shows that a party under Gadi Eisenkot would obtain 12 seats, with the Democrats taking 11, Yisrael Beytenu also at 11, Shas with 8, Yesh Atid with 7, United Torah Judaism at 7, Otzma Yehudit with 7, Hadash-Ta’al with 5, Ra’am with 5, and the Religious Zionist Party coming in with 4.

Benny Gantz’s Blue and White would not manage to cross the electoral threshold, according to the results. In this projection, the opposition bloc reaches 60 seats while the coalition bloc lands at 50. The Arab factions would keep their combined total of 10 seats.

In a different scenario presented by the poll—if Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman were to unite their factions—a joint party led by Bennett would emerge as the largest in the Knesset, commanding 30 seats.

Under such a merger, Likud would tally 25 seats, the Democrats 11, Eisenkot’s list 10, Yesh Atid 8, Shas 8, United Torah Judaism 7, Otzma Yehudit 7, Hadash-Ta’al 5, Ra’am 5, and the Religious Zionist Party 4.

Here too, Gantz’s party would fall short of the threshold. The opposition bloc would dip slightly to 59 seats, while the coalition bloc would climb to 51. The Arab parties would hold steady with 10 seats.
