According to a Walla poll, the resignation by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman to face a criminal indictment has not impacted the political map as the latest poll shows the right-wing bloc in Knesset maintains its sizable lead over the political left-wing, pointing out that lead continues to grow despite Lieberman’s resignation.

Fail to earn sufficient votes to pass the cut off line.
If elections were held today, the right-wing would receive 64 seats and the left-wing 56. The earlier poll, from December 9th, placed the gap between them as 6 seats, so in actuality; the right-wing continues to gain momentum.
The TNS Teleseker poll was conducted on Sunday, 3 Teves 5773, days after the resignation of the foreign minister.

In Israel, movements are only to the party most similar to you. Its a big and very share if, for example, someone switches from Likud to Labor. That’s a characteristic of proportional representation. The small movement towards “Bayit Yehudi” and “Yesh Atid” might represent disillusionment with Likud.
