Less than a week has passed for the submission of lists for the 24th Knesset, and the polls continue to change daily. Today (Friday) Nissim Mashaal presented in his program on 103FM the “poll of polls”, the average of all the polls conducted this week and examines where each party is located.
In first place, on a regular basis, is the Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which is sweeping 30 seats. In second place is Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid with 17 seats, which passed Gideon Saar Tikva Hadasha’s new party, which was stopped for 14 seats.
The right fails to rise back to the high numbers it presented at the beginning of the campaign and stands at 12 seats, followed immediately by the joint list which achieves 10 seats according to the “poll” and is the last to hold a double-digit number of seats.

The ultra-Orthodox parties continue to maintain their power and together reach 16 seats, when they are divided equally between Torah Judaism and Shas, which hold eight seats each. Lieberman and Yisrael Beiteinu immediately followed with seven seats.
At the bottom of the list are Meretz, Blue and White and the Labor Party, which for the first time crossed the blocking percentage. Meretz and blue and white with five seats each, while Labor stabilizes at four.
The one who was pushed out of the Knesset in such a situation is Ron Huldai together with his “Israelis” party, which includes, as will be recalled, former Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn. Bezalel Smutrich’s religious Zionism also does not pass the blocking percentage, as do Tnufa, the Economic Party, TLM, the veterans and Itamar Ben Gvir’s party.
In the picture of the blocs, the bloc to replace Netanyahu has 62 seats, without counting the right-wing party, which, as mentioned, holds 12 seats. On the other hand, Netanyahu and the ultra-Orthodox have 46 seats together, and even if Bennett joins them, Netanyahu will not have the 61 seats needed to form a government.
