A new Channel 2 poll finds Likud weakening slightly to 22 Knesset seats, with Zionist Union at 24 seats. Jewish Home, Yesh Atid and the Joint Arab List all win 12 seats.
Kulanu, Shas and United Torah Judaism all win seven seats in the new poll, Meretz and Yisrael Beitenu both win six seats and Yachad enters the Knesset with 5 MKs.
The Channel 2 poll showed results slightly different from a Haaretz poll published earlier, which put Likud and Zionist Union at a 23 seat tie.
Channel 2 also reports that leaders of the smaller parties in the Knesset will take part in a debate on Thursday at 8 p.m. Israel time. Taking part in the debate will be Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett, Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon, Yisrael Beitenu leader Avigdor Liberman, Shas leader Aryeh Deri, Meretz leader Zahava Galon and the Joint Arab List leader Aiman Uda.
In fact, among leaders of parties polling below 20 Knesset seats, the debate will feature all parties except United Torah Judaism.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
