A new Channel 1 poll published Thursday evening, after Netanyahu’s Congress speech, gives Likud and Zionist Union 24 Knesset seats each.

It seems Likud’s extra seats come at the expense of Jewish Home, which wins 11 seats in the new poll. Third largest after Likud and Zionist Union is Yesh Atid, with 13 seats. The Joint (Arab) List wins 12 seats and Shas wins eight. Moshe Kahlon’s Kulanu and United Torah Judaism both win seven seats each, Yisrael Beytenu wins six and Eli Yishai’s Yachad party, together with Meretz, barely scrape the electoral threshold and win four seats each.

Another poll conducted after the speech by pollster Camil Fuchs for Channel 10 also found Likud at a tie with Zionist Union, both at 23 seats.
