      Poll: Likud in the Lead, 12 Seats for Lapid


      A poll by Dahaf has found that Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party has enough support to win 12 seats in Knesset, making it the fourth-largest party. Likud would be the unchallenged victor with 31 seats.

      Labor and Yisrael Beiteinu would be in second and third place with 17 and 13 seats respectively. After Yesh Atid would come Kadima with 10 seats, Shas with 8, United Torah Judaism with 6, and Meretz and Ichud Leumi with four each.

      The Arab factions would have a combined 11 seats. Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s Independence party currently does not have enough support to pass the threshold and enter Knesset.
