A poll released on Sunday night reveals that the right-wing bloc has reason for concern as without Avigdor Lieberman and his Yisrael Beitenu, there is no majority. This is the situation that existed previously, as Lieberman’s conditions were not met, and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu could not assemble a coalition without him. The prime minister called to dissolve the Knesset and thereby launched new elections. It now appears that Israel will find itself in the exact same situation following the September 17, 2019 election for 22nd Knesset; that without Lieberman and his party, the right-wing will not be able to assemble a coalition government.
This is the first poll released since Orli Levi and her Gesher party signed an agreement with the Labor party.
