A new poll conducted by Menachem Lazar for Maariv and released today (Friday) shows Netanyahu's Likud holding strong as the leading party with 25 seats, four ahead of Benny Gantz's State Camp party. However, Betzalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party fails to pass the electoral threshold.
If the election were held today, Likud would get 25 seats, State Camp 21, Yesh Atid 14, Israel Beytenu 15, Shas 10, Democrats 10, Otzmah Yehudit 8, UTJ 7, Hadash-Ta'al 5, Ra'am 5.
Religious Zionism, New Right, and Balad would fail to pass the threshold.
Netanyahu's coalition would get 60 seats, Gantz's 65, with Hadash-Ta'al getting 5.
