The right-wing bloc is getting a bit closer to the required 61 seats for a minimum majority. The poll also shows Ben-Gvir and Feiglin are burning five Knesset seats.

A new poll conducted by Prof. Manu Geva for Walla News shows the right-wing bloc is nearing 61 seats, the minimum majority in Knesset for forming a coalition government. The number excludes MK Avigdor Lieberman and his Yisrael Beitenu party. However, Otzma Yehudit and the Zehut party according to the poll, waste a sufficient number of votes, enough for an additional five seats for the right-wing.

According to the poll, if elections were held today, Likud would receive 31 seats, Blue & White 29, Arab List 11, URWP 11, Yisrael Beitenu 10, Yahadut Hatorah 8, Shas 7, Democratic Israel/Meretz 7 and Labor/Gesher 6.

The minimum required to enter Knesset is 3.5% of the vote, resulting in four seats. Otzma Yehudit received 2.2% and Zehut 1.9%, both outside of Knesset as shown in all polls.
