    Poll: Likud, Blue and White remain tied at 30 seats

    The Likud and Blue and White Parties remain tied for the top spot in the September Knesset elections with 30 seats apiece, according to a Sunday-evening poll for Israeli public television.

    Yisrael Beytenu and the joint list of predominantly-Arab parties received 10 mandates each. Recent developments raised the New Right and the Labor-Gesher bloc to eight seats apiece, tied with United Torah Judaism. Shas went down to seven seats while the United Right had four. The Likud-led right would have 57 seats, compared to 53 for the Blue and White-led center left.
