A poll released on Tuesday evening, the eve of 19 Nissan shows that the Likud party remains the leading party. Despite investigations against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his recent backtracking on the deal with the UN to settle African migrants, Likud remains ahead of the others, earning 32 seats in the poll.

The poll was conducted by Prof Camil Fuchs for 10 News.

Remaining in second place is Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party with 21 seats, followed by the Arab List with 13, Machane Tzioni with 12, Bayit Yehudi with 10, Kulanu with 7, Meretz with 7, Yisrael Beitenu with 5, Yahadut Hatorah with 5, Orli Levy with 4, and Shas with 4.

Yahadut Hatorah is down from its current 6 seats and Shas is down from its current 7 seats. Bayit Yehudi gained 2 seats, but this is far less than party chairman Minister Naftali Bennet predicts will be the case.
