Were the elections held at this time, the Likud and Blue and White parties would tie, winning 30 Knesset seats each, a Channel 12 News survey projected on Tuesday
The newly-formed United Right would win 12 Knesset seats, followed by the Joint Arab List (11), Yisrael Beytenu (10), ultra-Orthodox parties United Torah Judaism and Shas (8 and 7 seats, respectively), the Democratic Union (7), and Labor-Gesher would secure five seats.

Moshe Feiglin's Zehut party and the far-right Otzma Yehudit party would not pass the 3.25% electoral threshold, which translates roughly into four seats.
The United Right, which comprises the New Right, Habayit Hayehudi and National Union parties, would increase its power to 14 seats if it partners with Moshe Feiglin's Zehut party and the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, the data showed.
This scenario, however, would bite into the Likud's tally, as the ruling party will drop to 28-29 mandates.
According to the survey, the Right bloc would comprise 42 mandates, rising to 57 which the religious parties. The Center-Left bloc would also secure 42 seats, but even in the unlikely event it could team with the Joint Arab List, it would each only 53 seats.
This result leaves both blocs short of reaching the minimal 61-seats necessary to form a government, meaning Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Lieberman retains the power to decide the fate of the government.
Israel's elections were held on April 9. Repeat elections were called for Sept. 17 after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to form a coalition proved unsuccessful.
