The Direct Polls Institute is publishing a survey today (Wednesday) that examined who Israeli citizens want to see as the leader of the center-right camp. Don't be a sucker: You may be entitled to a lot of money from National Insurance. Of all respondents - 34% would like Benjamin Netanyahu to lead the national camp, 22.2% Gideon Sa'ar, 16.4% Naftali Bennett and 10.2% would like Nir Barkat to lead. Among right-wing voters - Prime Minister Netanyahu with 43%, Yamina Chairman Bennett with 24.9%, Gideon Sa'ar receives only 16.8% percent of support and Nir Barkat with only 10.3%. Among left-wing voters, Sa'ar leads with 36%.

This morning, a mandate poll was published on 103FM radio, according to which the Likud led by Benjamin Netanyahu continues to lose mandates and now has only 31. The Blue and White party receives ten mandates, and the Yesh Atid list reaches 19 mandates. The Joint List is strengthening with one mandate to 16 seats, Bennett's Yamina party with 13 seats, and Yisrael Beiteinu with 8. There is no real change in the haredi parties: Shas with 9 seats, United Torah Judaism with 7. Meretz also with 7 seats. 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. According to the survey, the right-wing party bloc has 60 seats, and the left-wing and Arab bloc has 52 seats in the Knesset. Lieberman with eight seats.
