New poll: Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali  Bennett head-to-head and who is in third place

A new poll by the Midgam Institute, published on News 12 Tuesday evening, indicates that if elections for the prime minister were held in the current format, the Likud party and Prime Minister Netanyahu would lead with 25 seats.

Following it, the National Unity Party led by Gantz stands with 18 mandates. Yesh Atid of Yair Lapid with 15 mandates. Yisrael Beiteinu – 14 mandates. The Democrats, led by Yair Golan, with 12 mandates. Shas and Otzma Yehudit with 9 mandates each. United Torah Judaism with 8 mandates. Ra'am and Hadash-Ta'al with 5 mandates each.

The Balad party, Smotrich's Religious Zionism, and Gideon Sa'ar's party do not pass the electoral threshold.

The survey also indicates that if another list is formed under the leadership of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, it would receive 23 mandates, the same number of mandates as Netanyahu's Likud party. In this scenario, the third-largest party is the Democrats led by Yair Golan, which receives 11 mandates.

Yair Lapid receives 10 mandates. Gantz and the National Unity Party are also crashing to 10 mandates. Shas and Yisrael Beiteinu each with nine mandates. United Torah Judaism with eight mandates. Otzma Yehudit – drops to 7 mandates. Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am each with five mandates.

Even in such a scenario, the Balad party, Smotrich's Religious Zionism, and Gideon Sa'ar's party do not pass the electoral threshold.
