A Midgam Institute poll published Monday evening by Channel 12 News shows that a joint run by the Religious Zionism and Zehut parties would currently win them a combined five Knesset seats.

According to the figures, before such a merger, the Yashar! party wins 24 seats, Likud 23, Bennett and Lapid’s “Together" party 15, and the Democrats 11.

Yisrael Beytenu receives nine seats, United Torah Judaism eight, Otzma Yehudit eight, the Joint List seven, Shas seven, Ra’am four, and Ofer Winter’s “Amcha Yisrael" four.

Under this scenario, the Religious Zionism party falls below the electoral threshold with 2.6% of the vote, as does the Reservists’ Zionist Home party of Chili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, which also receives 2.6%. Zehut, led by Moshe Feiglin, receives 2.1%; Hatzibur HaHaredi, led by Moti Leitner, 1.2%; the New Economic Party, led by Yaron Zelekha, 1%; Benny Gantz’s Blue and White, 0.9%; and the Unity Party, led by Gilad Erdan, 0.5%.

The right-wing bloc wins 50 seats, while the anti-Netanyahu bloc receives 59.

In a scenario in which Smotrich and Feiglin join forces, while Benny Gantz’s Blue and White and Gilad Erdan’s Unity Party also run on a joint slate, Yashar! wins 24 seats, Likud 23, Together 15, the Democrats 11, Yisrael Beytenu nine, United Torah Judaism eight, Otzma Yehudit seven, the Joint List seven, Shas seven, the Smotrich-Feiglin alliance five, and Ra’am four.

Under this scenario, Ofer Winter’s party fails to cross the electoral threshold, while the balance between the blocs remains unchanged.
