According to the survey, conducted by the Kantar Institute, the Joint List will remain the third largest and will strengthen to 16 seats.

The one that is making a leap is Yamina, led by Naftali Bennett, who is winning 15 seats in the poll, compared to only 6 seats today.

Blue and White receives 12 seats.

Following them: Shas with 9 seats and United Torah Judaism with 8. Yisrael Beiteinu receives 7 in the poll, and Meretz is the smallest party with 6.

Labor, Jewish Home, Gesher, Otzma Yehudit and Derech Eretz – do not pass the threshold.

According to the poll, the right-wing-ultra-Orthodox bloc will win 62 seats and have a majority to form a government. The center-left bloc will have 51 seats, with Lieberman this time not functioning as a balance with 7 seats.

In response to the question of who is more suitable to head the Israeli government, 37% responded that Prime Minister Netanyahu is the suitable candidate. 19% expressed support for Yamina Chairman Naftali Bennett, 15% answered that Yair Lapid is the one who is suitable to be Prime Minister. Only 10% of those surveyed supported Gantz.

62% of the survey respondents said they were dissatisfied with Prime Minister Netanyahu's performance in the crisis. In contrast, 31% claimed they were satisfied. Among Likud voters, there is greater satisfaction with the performance, 78%, while among voters of other parties there is overwhelming dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, the survey examined what the public thinks about the aid offered to Lebanon and the lighting of the Tel Aviv City Hall in the colors of the Lebanese flag. 58% of those surveyed answered that they support providing humanitarian medical aid to their northern neighbor. 22% opposed it, and 15% do not support providing aid - but are not opposed either. But in the Tel Aviv process, there are far fewer supporters: only 31% of those surveyed supported the gesture, 45% responded that they were opposed.

The survey was conducted today among 599 respondents in a national sample of the population aged 18 and over. The number of people asked to answer the survey is 2,335 people and the sampling error is 4.41%.
