If Knesset elections were held today, the Netanyahu coalition parties would win 49 seats out of the Knesset's 120, according to a Channel 12 News poll.
The poll came as Israel waged war with Iran and just a day after the Netanyahu government survived an opposition-backed bill to dissolve the Knesset – a move driven by deep coalition tensions over proposed ultra-Orthodox conscription legislation.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud gains four seats compared to the previous poll conducted about three weeks ago, making it the largest party with 26 seats. It is followed by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's party with 24 seats, down from 26 in the previous survey.
According to the poll, the third-largest party is the center-left Democrats, led by Yair Golan, with 12 seats. Yair Lapid's centrist Yesh Atid receives 9 seats, as do Avigdor Lieberman's right-wing Yisrael Beitenu and Arye Dery's ultra-Orthodox Shas. The Haredi United Torah Judaism gets 8 seats, the centrist National Unity party receives 7, the far-right Otzma Yehudit 6, and both Arab parties Hadash–Ta'al and Ra'am win 5 seats each. The far-right Religious Zionism and the Arab Balad do not pass the electoral threshold.
