Poll: 48's Parties are the Kingmakers in Forming the Next Israeli Government

A new poll revealed that Palestinian parties in the occupied territories of 48 will be the kingmakers in forming any future government in the occupying state, after their share of "Knesset" seats increased if elections were held. In the poll conducted by media sources and published on Wednesday, it became clear that Benjamin Netanyahu's government coalition, consisting of far-right parties, is strengthening and could get 54 seats in the Knesset if elections are held. However, the surprising part is that Palestinian parties will get 15 seats, following their unification into the "Joint List," which includes 4 parties.

In detail, the poll showed that the Likud party, led by Netanyahu, would get 26 seats, an increase of one seat from the previous elections. In second place is Naftali Bennett's party, which the poll expects to get 22 seats, one seat less than what it got in last week's poll. The third largest party is the Joint List, which the heads of the "Arab parties" announced their intention to form last month, and it is expected to win 15 seats.

According to the opinion poll, the coalition parties will win 54 seats, an increase of three seats from the previous poll, compared to 66 seats for the parties opposing Netanyahu. The current poll indicates that neither bloc will be able to form a government without the support of the Arab (Palestinian) parties.

Shas party and Otzma Yehudit party will win nine seats, while Yesh Atid party and the Democratic party will each get eight seats. Yisrael Beiteinu party will get seven seats, and "Yashar" party led by Gadi Eizenkot and United Torah Judaism party will get six seats. The Religious Zionist party will win four seats. As for Blue and White party and the Reservists party led by Yoaz Hendel, they will not cross the winning threshold.

The results of the current poll indicate that neither bloc (right-wing and opposition) will be able to form a government without the support of the Arab parties.
