Survey: Difficulty for both sides in forming a government

On the way to a dead end in the government train? If the elections had been held today (Wednesday), the Likud would have won 28 seats and there is a future for 18. This is according to a News 12 poll published tonight in the main edition.

According to the survey, it seems that it will be very difficult for both sides to form a government. The bloc of opponents of Benjamin Netanyahu does win 61 seats, but these also consist of the 9 seats of the joint that are difficult to see how they will sit in the government or even support from outside where a new right-wing-oriented Tikva party is a member. Gideon Saar’s party continues to be far from the official numbers it showed with its launch and according to the poll wins only 13 seats.

The bloc of Netanyahu supporters stands at 48 (Likud, Torah Judaism and Shas), while the right, led by Naftali Bennett – who did not rule out a meeting with the prime minister but Bennett announced that he intends to replace him – wins 11 seats. The Religious Zionist Party led by MK Bezalel Smutrich and its member Itamar Ben-Gvir are successful and win 5 seats, with four seats required to enter the Knesset.
