Who will win the most seats in the parliament? Were elections held today, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud would garner the most, 30 seats, Yesh Atid 25, and the Religious Zionist Party 15, followed by Benny Gantz's State Party with 11, the Sephardic ultra-Orthodox Shas faction nine, United Torah Judaism seven, Merav Michaeli's Labor six, Avigdor Lieberman's Habayit Hayehudi five, and Meretz, and Arab factions Ra'am and Hadash-Ta'al four mandates each. Ayelet Shaked's Habayit Hayehudi and Arab party Balad both fail to pass the minimum electoral threshold of 3.25%, with 1.2% and 1% respectively.
Data shows that the Netanyahu-led right-wing camp, which includes the Likud, the Religious Zionist Party, Shas and United Torah Judaism, will gain 61 seats and be able to form a government without the help of any outside faction. The Yair Lapid-led camp is expected to garner 55 mandates.
Who is most fit to become prime minister? According to most Israelis (49%), it is the former prime minister, although 36% said Lapid would do better, while 15% said they were not sure.
As for the justice system, 44% of respondents said their trust in the judiciary was low, 30% said medium and only 26% said they highly trust the system.
The subject of public transportation on Shabbat proved most burning, with the majority of Israelis (65%) saying they were in favor of the move. Of those, 38% said they were fully in support and 27% said they supported the idea partially. Only 27% said they opposed the idea and 8% said they were not sure.
The subject garnered traction after Michaeli, who is transportation minister, announced she was planning to approve the Tel Aviv lightrail, which is still under construction, to operate on Shabbat.
