A Channel 10 poll shows the Likud party widening its lead, even after Netanyahu’s acceptance of a migrant deal with the UN refugee agency on Monday, which he dropped hours later and officially canceled on Tuesday.

The survey predicts the Likud would receive 32 seats in the Knesset if elections were held today, followed by Yesh Atid with just 21 seats. The Joint (Arab) List would receive 13 seats, followed by the Zionist Union with 12, the Jewish Home with 10, Kulanu and Meretz with seven seats apiece, Yisrael Beytenu and United Torah Judaism with five seats, and Shas and a new party by independent MK Orly Levy-Abekasis with four Knesset seats.
