(Worthy News) – Opposition Leader and former premier Benjamin Netanyahu is on the cusp of having enough support for the Likud and its allies to form a new government if new elections were held today, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll, conducted by Direct Polls, found that if new elections were held today, the Likud would gain six additional seats, rising from 30 mandates won in last year’s election to 36 seats total, making it not only the largest party in the Knesset, but more than twice as largest as its nearest rival.
Yesh Atid, by contrast, would retain its 17 seats – marking a decline of two mandates since the previous Direct Polls survey was conducted in late November 2021. [ Source: Arutz Sheva (Read More…) ]
