    Poll: Likud/right edge Blue and White/center-left-Arabs

    An Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation poll, published Sunday evening on public television, showed that if elections were to be held today, the Likud Party would get the most Knesset seats, 31, one more than Blue and White.

    The Likud-led right wing would get 56 mandates, compared to 55 for the center-left-Arab lists - led by Blue and White. The nine seats for Yisrael Beytenu would appear to hold formation of a government in the balance. The Otzma Yehudit Party would get 2.9 percent of the vote, not enough to clear the Knesset threshold.
