• Yediot Ahronot includes a poll asking if the Knesset elections were held today which party would you vote for? The Likud is firmly in the lead with 38 seats. This, however, represents a 3-seat drop compared to the previous poll. Yesh Atid-Telem led by Yair Lapid solidifies its position as the second-largest party with 17 seats, while the Joint List led by Ayman Odeh maintains its strength with 15 seats. Blue and White, however, continues to weaken, receiving only 10 seats in the poll. Yamina, led by Naftali Bennett, and Shas, headed by Aryeh Deri, with 9 seats each. United Torah Judaism receives 8 seats in the poll, Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu 8 seats, and Meretz with 6 seats. Remaining below the electoral threshold is the Labour Party, Orly Levy-Abekasis’s Gesher and the Derech Eretz partnership of Yoaz Hendel and Zvi Hauser.
