A senior Likud official, who is familiar with the data, estimates that the bloc will receive approximately 58 seats in the upcoming elections. The official also stated that Avigdor Lieberman's party will pass the electoral threshold in every scenario.

This assessment comes as the political landscape intensifies, with parties vying for public support ahead of the vote. The Likud insider's projection suggests a potentially challenging path for forming a coalition government, as 58 seats fall short of the 61 required for a majority in the Knesset. The inclusion of Lieberman's party, if it indeed passes the threshold, could be a significant factor in any future coalition calculations.

The official's remarks highlight the ongoing internal assessments within the Likud party regarding their electoral prospects and the broader political dynamics. The projection indicates a focus on consolidating support and understanding the potential impact of smaller parties on the final seat distribution.
