Poll Shows Netanyahu's Failure to Form New Gov't after Alliance with Gantz

A new poll published by the official Israeli broadcast "Kan" showed that if elections were held today, Likud would be the largest party, with 34 seats.

The poll showed that the "Yesh Atid" party led by caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid would come in second place with 23 seats, while the new alliance between the Kahol Lavan party led by the Defense Minister, and Petah Tikva led by Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar will come in second place in third place with 14 seats.

According to the poll, the "Netanyahu" bloc will get 59 seats, two fewer than the 61 seats needed to form a majority coalition.

Today, opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about the decision of the "Kahol Lavan" and "Petah Tikva" parties to run together on a joint list and said, "We in the Likud do not interfere in how the left pides its votes."
