A political draw, this is what is emerging at the moment, after some of the parties submitted the lists for the Knesset elections, while the rest will do so today (Thursday). A poll conducted by Panels Politics and published this morning on a program by Nissim Mash’al and Guy Peleg on 103FM states that the “Netanyahu bloc”, with Naftali Bennett’s right, has 60 seats, like the “Netanyahu opponents’ bloc.”
According to the poll, the Likud party receives 29 seats, Yesh Atid retains second place with 17, and is ahead of Tikva Hadash, which has 14 seats. Naftali Bennett’s right gets 11 seats, one more from the joint list, which tonight decided to run in the elections without the RAAM party.
Yisrael Beiteinu receives eight seats, while the ultra-Orthodox parties receive 15 – eight for Shas and seven for Torah Judaism. The Labor Party continues to impress after the election of Merav Michaeli as chairman and election of the list to the Knesset, and stands at six seats. Meretz with five, as for the list of religious Zionism, Jewish power and Noam. Below the blocking percentage you can find Blue and White, the Israelis, the Economic Party and swing.

As mentioned, some of the parties have not yet submitted the list to the Knesset and more connections are expected before then, such as a possible connection of the Jewish Home Party to the bloc of religious Zionism, and the connection or retirement of some left-center parties that fail to enter.
The survey was conducted last night (Wednesday) by Menachem Lazar – director of Panels Politics. It was attended by 532 members of the Panel4All Respondents Panel to conduct online research (a request to participate in the survey was sent to 2,951 members of the panel). The survey was conducted on a representative sample of the adult population in the State of Israel, Jews and Arabs alike – aged 18 and over. The maximum sampling error is 4.4 percent.
