New Israeli alliance could beat Netanyahu's party

A new party led by former Israeli 'Defense' Minister Moshe Ya'alon, former Israeli Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon could topple the Israeli Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu's party (Likud) , a poll released Friday found.

According to the poll, which was conducted by Israeli Institute, such a party would win the next election and achieve 25 Knesset (Israeli Parliament) seats. Likud would come down to 21 seats.

The numbers were published hours after Environmental Protection Minister Avi Gabay (Kulanu) resigned from politics, in an act of protest over Ya’alon being replaced as 'Defense' Minister by Avigdor Liberman. His resignation follows that of Ya’alon himself as well as of Yisrael Beytenu MK Orly Levi-Abekasis.
