'The 'Democrats' remain stable with 8 seats, United Torah Judaism also has 8 seats - one more than in the previous poll. Further down the list are Religious Zionism and Identity - just after the announcement of the union - with 7 seats, Otzma Yehudit remains stable with 7 seats.

The Hadash-Ta'al-Balad faction also receives 7 seats. Yisrael Beytenu drops in a seat, receiving 6 seats, and the Ra'am faction closes the list with 5 seats.
