According to a poll conducted for 103FM by the Panels Politics Institute headed by Menachem Lazar, which was presented this morning (Tuesday) on the program ‘Sheva Tisha’ with Golan Yokfaz and Anat Davidov, Yesh Atid continues its consistent strengthening trend, reaching a prefix 2 this week – with 20 seats, an increase of one seat One from last week. The Likud maintains its power with 28 seats, and therefore – the gap between Lapid and Netanyahu is lower than ever, and stands at only eight seats.
A change of trend was recorded in the battle for third place: Naftali Bennett and Yima strengthen their seats and reach 12 seats. This seat comes down from Gideon Saar and a new Tikva party, which this week stand at 11 seats, a slump since the party was formed. A very interesting shift is also taking place in the center of the table of seats: the ultra-Orthodox bloc registers a low of 14 seats, in light of the weakening of Torah Judaism to seven seats. On the other hand, Yisrael Beiteinu, the secular list led by Avigdor Lieberman rises by one seat – from seven to eight seats.

Blue and white, led by Bnei Gantz, is strengthened by one seat this week, reaching five seats in the next Knesset. Above the red line of the blocking percentage are religious Zionism, led by Bezalel Smutrich, and Meretz, led by Nitzan Horowitz, despite fears of further damage to the party in light of his statements over the weekend in favor of an international tribunal in The Hague.
Below the blocking percentage: Mansour Abbas’ RMM is relatively close to crossing the line, with 2.6 percent. On the other hand, Yaron Zelicha and the Economic Party continue to weaken and fall from 1.9 to 1.2 percent.
Despite the fluctuations, the block map continues to be similar to that recorded in previous weeks. Netanyahu also did not have the ability to form a coalition of 61 seats this week. The right-wing bloc and the ultra-Orthodox have 46 seats, and together with the growing right it reaches 58 seats – the same figure as was recorded in our poll last week. On the other hand, a bloc of Netanyahu’s opponents was left with 62 seats.
