A poll released on Wednesday night the eve of 10 Teves shows that all chareidi parties clear the minimum threshold to get into the 20th Knesset. The poll was conducted by Prof. Camil Fuchs and Midgam for Channel 10.
The poll places the Labor party/The Movement party alignment in first place with 23 seats. In second place with 21 seats in the Likud party.
Who would you vote for to serve as prime minister?
43% Binyamin Netanyahu
33% Yitzchak Hertzog
24% Undecided
The Bayit Yehudi party is in third place with 17 seats followed by the combined Arab parties with 11. The Kulanu party headed by former Likud Minister Moshe Kahlon receives 10 seats and Yesh Atid receives 9 seats.
It appears the ongoing police investigation into high-level government corruption involving a number of senior Yisrael Beitenu party officials has had an impact as the party only receives 7 seats, while the left-wing Meretz party remains at 6.
The chareidi parties all make into Knesset with Yahadut Hatorah earning 7 seats, Shas 5 and Ha’Am Itanu (Eli Yishai) 4 seats, bringing chareidi representation in Knesset to 16 seats, a drop from today’s 18 seats.

Good news no need to fight
Oy me hoyo lonu, we should not have so called “chareidi” parties in the tumah and cesspoll of the knesset, it is mamosh yaharir val yavor and they are giving the knesset a hechsher, mamosh terrible, i will open eicha.
Now combine 17 from bayt yehudi, and the 16 charedi, create a frum front and you can run the country.
Hopefully both yishai and shas do better than that.
I still believe that if shas can come to terms with Yishai’s party, both will gain.
If they fight (like they are doing now) they will both lose, shas included.
Number one issue in Israel is security, for that we need Bibi.
To #4 the one who signs himself “Sefardi Tahor”. Perhaps you got the samach tet from some signature of great Sefardic Hakhamim, and perhaps you were told that it stands for sefardi tahor. So, i will challenge you to show me this acronym written out as “sefardi tahor”. Furthermore, I challenge you with someone writing this for someone other than himself. Sorry to disappoint you and all the sefardic haters who claim that this is a snotty way to sign a letter – it doesn’t stand for “sefardi tahor” at all. Rather – it stands for sin v tin (afar v’aifar in aramaic) and is similar in idea to hakatan.
