If the soldiers’ vote and surplus vote comes in the Likud could get an extra two to three seats:

A coalition government would look like this:

Likud 34, Yesh Atid 20, Jewish Home 13 = 66 seats - a comfortable center-right Zionist majority. If Shas 12 and UTJ 6 join, Netanyahu could command a coaltion of up to 84 seats, not dependent on any one party. If Labor decides to join, it could be over 100 seats.

If I understand correctly, Yesh Atid is basically a single-issue "draft the haredim" party, so it would be hard to see them in a coalition with Shas & UTJ, but stranger things have happened in the world of Israeli coalition building.

That’s exactly what I was thinking! And, hopefully, it would mean annexation of Judea and Samaria!!
