Israel: Netanyahu short of majority in Channel 13 poll The latest Channel 13 poll indicates that Benjamin Netanyahu faces a difficult road to forming Israel's next government. Expected seats: Likud (Netanyahu): 25.
Right (Gadi Eisenkot): 23.
Naftali Bennett: 14.
The United Arab List/Hadash-Tel: 10.
Thunder: 7.
Shas: 6.
Ben-Gvir: 6.
Smotrich: 6 Coalition account: Netanyahu bloc: about 50 seats Opposition bloc: about 53 seats Arab parties: about 17 seats A majority requires 61 seats out of 120 seats. Although the Likud remains the largest private party, Netanyahu's existing political bloc falls short of the seats needed to govern. The Arab parties and the potential coalition arrangements may be decisive. Without sufficient parliamentary support, Israel could face difficult coalition negotiations or further elections. These are poll predictions, not official election results. Source: Israel's Channel 13 survey.
