15 September 2019Head to head between Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz and neither of the two coalitions with a majority in their pockets for a new government in Israel. This is a photograph of the Israeli vote next Tuesday taken from the latest polls admitted before the elections. A situation in its present state blocked, which also confirms the secular nationalist Avigdor Lieberman as a possible point of the balance.

According to surveys of the commercial channels channel 12 and channel 13, Netanyahu's Likud and Gantz-Lapid's blue-white centrist both have 32 seats, while at the coalition level the prime minister's right has 58-59 deputies against the center-left 53 . Both, however, without the 61 seats out of 120 in the Knesset which are the minimum threshold for governing. The two seats are decisive for the two seats which, according to the polls, has Lieberman. To the right of Netanyahu it would not even be enough for the radical represented by 'Otzma Yehudit to overcome the electoral barrier and bring home 4 seats. The Arab list would have 12 seats, while Labor would stop at 4 seats: even worse than the past, catastrophic, elections.
