With the right-wing bloc predicted to receive 59 seats and the Bennett-Lapid bloc predicted 55, at this early stage it appears that neither side has a clear route to forming a government<\/strong>.<\/h5>\n

Following the announcement on Monday evening that Bennett and Lapid will bring forward a bill to dissolve the Knesset next week, an election poll posted on Tuesday morning by 103FM predicts another election campaign that will end without any of the blocs having the ability to form a stable government supported by at least 61MKs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who gains, who loses?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The results of the survey show that the Likud Party has gained one more seat compared to a previous 103FM survey\u00a0conducted on May 26<\/a>, less than a month ago. As mentioned,\u00a0the Likud is now predicted to receive 36 seats, with Yesh Atid coming next at 20 seats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another party that continues to grow in strength is the Religious Zionist Party of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, which in the poll reaches the double-digit figure of 10 seats – an increase of one since the last poll.<\/span><\/p>\n

The poll also shows that Blue and White are predicted to retain the seats they currently have, as will the Labor Party, giving them eight and seven seats respectively. The Joint List is also predicted to retain the six seats they currently hold.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, Shas is predicted to lose two seats, and United Torah Judaism is predicted to lose one as well, bringing them to seven and six seats respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However,\u00a0outgoing Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s Yamina party<\/a>\u00a0is predicted to gain back seats, bringing them back up from four to seven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu is predicted to drop from seven seats to five, putting them close to the bottom of the list, only slightly ahead of Ra’am and New Hope, who are predicted to pass the threshold with the minimum requirement of four seats each.<\/span><\/p>\n
