The survey showed a further decline for the opposition alliance led by Lapid and Bennett, which would receive 15 seats.
Overall, Netanyahu’s ruling coalition would obtain 53 seats in the 120-member Knesset compared to 57 seats for opposition parties, while parties representing Palestinian citizens of Israel would secure 10 seats.
Channel 13 did not disclose the survey’s date, sample size or margin of error. It said the poll was supervised by a team of researchers, including Shmuel Rosner, Yosef Maklada, Dr. Ariel Ayalon, Dori Dror and Prof. David Steinberg.
The findings come amid intensifying political debate in Israel over the country’s wars, security policy and future leadership ahead of any potential elections.
A separate poll published on Friday by the Maariv newspaper showed the opposition would be capable of forming a government if elections were held today, winning 61 seats compared to 49 for Netanyahu’s bloc.
