Yedioth Ahronoth’s weekend poll was the first and the only survey that gave 'The Israelis' party two seats in the next Knesset.
The paper writes 'The Israelis', virtually unheard of in the Hebrew
language press, “steals seats from Likud-Beitenu” by presenting an
alternative for immigrants from the former Soviet Union, who believe
Lieberman sold out to Likud.
What is less known to the Israeli public, is that the Immigrant party is basically a silver party founded by Haim Ramon and Tzipi livni, in an attempt to steal as many votes as they can from Likud Beitenu.
A poll conducted by Ma'agar Mohot, however, found that the Likud Beitenu party will receive 70 percent of the
votes of Israelis who emigrated from the former Soviet Union after
1989, while
"The Israelis" led by Channel 9 television host David Kon, received
only 4% in the poll.
