Bribery Probe Could Cost Netanyahu Israel's April 9 ElectionA new poll released Sunday on Channel 12 showed the Blue & White bloc led by ex-military chief of staff Benny Gantz and former Finance Minister Yair Lapid positioned to form a center-left government after April’s vote with 61 seats in parliament, compared with 59 likely to back a right-wing government led by Netanyahu’s Likud party. Fourteen percent of right-wing respondents said the draft indictment made them rethink how they’ll vote. Seventeen to 20 percent of people who voted for Likud in the last election in 2015 said this time they’ll vote for Blue & White.
