Knesset Jeremy Analysis: Scenario poll shows that both Netanyahu would gain from running without Yisrael Beitenu by ensuring more Likud MKs and raising the Netanyahu-Liberman block, as well as the right block. In the “regular” poll the tie between Labor and Yesh Atid is quite interesting for second place.

Knesset Jeremy Analysis: The Smith poll is different than the Panels poll. Smith’s poll was conducted before the “apology” and the Panels poll was conducted afterwards. Smith shows a larger right-religious block than the Panels poll, with higher numbers for Likud Beitenu, Shas & UTJ. Panels poll gives Bayit Yehudi 17 seats and Smith gives Bayit Yehudi 11 seats.

Knesset Jeremy Analysis: The clear winner of the Netanyahu-Bennett aftermath is Bennett. Bayit Yehudi gains 5 seats from last week’s Panels poll and Likud Beitenu dropped 4 seats. It is very unusual to see such a change in weekly polls. Another interesting point is that Shas’s slow gradual drop is continuing.
