A new Smith Poll commissioned by the Jerusalem Post shows that three months after resigning from Knesset, former Defense Minister Moshe Ya�alon�s popularity has waned.
If elections were held today, Likud would continue to be the largest party with 27 seats instead of its current 30. In a scenario in which Ya�alon and former Likud Minister Gideon Saar run together Likud would drop to 25 and this new party would earn 16 seats. Presenting the same scenario immediately after Ya�alon left office, the new party earned 25 seats.
The poll also shows results if elections were held today in the framework of the parties that makeup the 20th [current] Knesset.

That’s what they said right before the elections last time , at the end of the day ,as much as the press hates Netanyahu,he gets his votes , and bh there’s many detering facts to Bennett growing , and Lapid looks like he’ll be a thorn in our sides for many years to come. Nothing jas changed in Israeli politics
