A special survey, the results of which were presented this morning (Wednesday) on the "Sheva Teshah" program on 103fm, indicates that the Likud led by Netanyahu continues to plummet and now has only 31 seats. His secret: Earn a prestigious degree without preparatory school and without prerequisites • Want one too? Blue and White and Yesh Atid reach 29 seats in this poll: 10 for the party led by Gantz and Ashkenazi, 19 for the party led by Lapid and Ya'alon. Don't be a sucker: You may be entitled to a lot of money from National Insurance. The survey, conducted by Menachem Lazar, director of Panels Politics, shows that within two months, Likud has lost 10 seats in the Knesset: in a survey conducted on May 27, Likud received 41 seats. Each of the surveys published after that showed a steady decline, which, as mentioned, reached its lowest point this morning. The survey also shows that the Joint List is strengthening by one mandate to 16, Yamina with 13 mandates, and Yisrael Beiteinu with 8. There is no change in the haredi parties: Shas with 9 mandates, United Torah Judaism with 7. Meretz also receives 7. Five additional parties are currently below the threshold, including Labor, which is not expected, as of today, to reach the next Knesset. Along with it are Otzma Yehudit, Derech Eretz, Gesher and the Jewish Home. If the elections were held today, the right-wing bloc, together with the haredi parties, would have only 47 mandates. Yamina, which is not currently part of it, could in such a situation complete the bloc to 60. The left-Arab bloc has 52. Avigdor Lieberman, therefore, has returned to the decisive position, like the tip of the scales, which could give the right-wing government or create complete equality between the blocs.
Most respondents: The police act for political motives Another question asked in the survey concerns the conduct of the Israel Police in handling protesters against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in demonstrations currently taking place in front of his residence in Jerusalem. The results are surprising: No less than 44 percent of all respondents believe that the Israel Police is influenced by political considerations in enforcing the law during these demonstrations. 33 percent estimate that its conduct is businesslike and professional. Among right-wing voters, an equally amazing figure was recorded: a significant portion of respondents, about a third of right-wing voters, believed that political considerations were involved in the way the police behaved toward the protesters. The trend emerging from the survey should, without a doubt, raise quite a few question marks at the political level, which has been raising the scenario of going to elections due to the lack of agreement between the coalition parties on the issue of the state budget. The survey, conducted yesterday (Tuesday), was conducted on a representative sample of the adult population in the State of Israel - both Jews and Arabs - aged 18 and over. 525 members of the Panel4All respondent panel for conducting research on the Internet participated in the survey. A request to participate in the survey was sent to 3,650 panel members. The maximum sampling error is 4.4 percent.
