With smear campaigns and a possible attempt to manipulate the Likud’s primaries, the PM might be aiming for an election rematch outcome

"Recently, several people approached Ra'am following the negotiations with Yoav Segalovitz. A group was formed specifically of former senior officials and others," Muhammad Majadle said.

Among the opposition parties, the Democrats have failed to return to double digits after losing two seats last week, falling to nine, below the level recorded before the party’s primaries.

Lapid, following the announcement, praised Segalovitz's "integrity and professionalism" during his years of serving Israel as part of Yesh Atid.

All three of the main political bloc supporters had a majority agree that the election's integrity was in danger, although the exact percentage varied widely.

His comments came after Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot stated that leaders of smaller parties in the opposition bloc should not insist on seeking the premiership.

Movers and shakers in Israeli society.

According to the poll, if elections were held today, Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot would each lead with 23 seats, an increase of two seats for each compared with the previous poll.

The opposition parties reached 70 seats, compared to the current coalition parties who received 50 of the 120 Knesset seats, the N12 poll found.
