Are you sure to place the New Kachlon Party in the right block. He has been very critical with Bibi even in the diplomatic issues. Are you sure he would support Bibi as PM even if Bibi got second place in the elections (suppose that a center-left coalition sponsored by Peres defeat Likud)?
P.D. It seems that Hadash consolidates 5 MK´s in the polls. This is an impulse to go alone in the elections.
Kachlon should not be grouped together with the right/religious bloc. Aside from his sniping at the Likud as “extreme right”, he’s clearly setting himself up to be the next Kadima/Yesh Atid. His party will be yet another center-left faction masquerading as a Third Way alternative to the left and right.
These numbers point to many combinations. If relations with the US are seen as paramount, a coalition without BY with a strong centrist and realist flavor might yet emerge – Shas or even Labor being included. A swing of 3-4 seats leftward would guarantee it. Going with the 70 you characterize as right plus religious misreads the public mood.
