The far-right Religious Zionist party, which includes the Kahanist Otzma Yehudit faction, has strengthened at the expense of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, a Channel 13 News poll predicted Sunday, nine days before Israelis head to the polls in the country's fourth election in two years.
The poll showed that if Israel's election was held today, Likud would receive 28 seats – one fewer than the channel's poll conducted last Tuesday.
Religious Zionism would secure six seats, gaining one seat at the Likud's expense. The landscape of the left and right wing blocs remains unchanged. The anti-Netanyahu bloc would receive 58 seats, and the pro-Netanyahu bloc would receive 47.
