The Israeli 103 radio station issued the results of a poll it had conducted. It showed the Likud party headed by Benjamin Netanyahu growing stronger in comparison with previous polls.

The poll results showed the Likud winning 30 seats if the ‘Israeli’ elections are held, and New Hope, led by Gideon Sa’ar, 17 seats but remaining as the second power in play.  

Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, comes third with 14 seats, and the New Right, led by Naftali Bennett, fourth with 11 seats. The New Hope was in second and third place before Sa’ar’s split with the Likud and Bezalel Smotrich’s with the New Right.

The Arab Joint List lost four seats it had won in the recent elections winning 10 seats only in the poll. Shas won 8; Yisrael Beiteinu, led by Avigdor Lieberman, won 7; the United Torah Judaism dropped to 6; Meretz won 5; the Israelis won 4; and the Blue and White and Smotrich’s won 4 as well.

The Labor, Gesher, Telem and the Jewish Home will face a political crisis for not having reached the necessary rate.

The polls showed the Israeli right as incapable of forming a 61-seat coalition, so the political crisis of forming the new government remains the same.
