Netanyahu's coalition falls to 48 seats, opposition gets 62 seats after legislative blitz - poll
The poll found that 83% of voters oppose the inclusion of Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties in the coalition that is formed after the elections, while only 8% support it
Assessment
A new poll shows Netanyahu's coalition shrinking to 48 seats against the opposition's 62, suggesting a difficult path to forming a government. The overwhelming opposition to including Haredi parties, at 83%, may force the coalition to seek alternative partners or face a deadlock. The legislative blitz referenced appears to have shifted public sentiment against the current coalition makeup.
