Channel 12 poll gives Gantz-Lapid 36 seats, to 30 for Netanyahu’s Likud
A Channel 12 news poll indicates similarly favorable results for Gantz and Lapid’s Blue and White party, but better numbers for Likud than the Channel 13 survey.
The Netanyahu-led bloc could muster 60 seats, with 60 for the center, left and Arab parties. Quips a Channel 12 analyst: There’d be rotation — not between Lapid and Gantz, but between Gantz and Netanyahu.
