text: Both the haredi Shas party and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu party have polled in the mid-single digits – close enough to the electoral threshold to cause concern among senior coalition officials.
  Yisrael Beytenu, which won 6 seats in 2015 but was reduced to just 5 after MK Orly Levy split off, has polled between 5-6 seats over the past few months.
