The claim
“According to a 23 April N12 News survey, Bennett’s party would win 21 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, Netanyahu’s Likud 25 seats, Lapid’s party 7 seats, Netanyahu’s coalition 50 seats, and a potential Bennett-Lapid coalition would secure at least 60 seats.”
Our verdict
Mostly True
The claim accurately reflects the seat projections from an N12 News survey conducted on April 23rd, as reported by multiple sources.
What we found
The survey results for Bennett's party, Likud, and Lapid's party align with the provided data. While the total for Netanyahu's coalition and the potential Bennett-Lapid coalition are also stated in the survey, the exact wording on "Netanyahu's coalition 50 seats, and a potential Bennett-Lapid coalition would secure at least 60 seats" is a direct quote from the context and supported by the MSN source, making the claim largely true.
