The dramatic fall in the strength of Israel's Likud party, headed by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in the past two weeks due to a series of scandals has stopped, according to the latest survey sponsored by local newspaper Ha'aretz.

The poll shows that the Likud will win 30 of the total 120 seatsof the next parliament, while its major rival, the Labor party, will win just 20 seats.

The poll was conducted on behalf of Ha'aretz by the Dialogue survey company, under the supervision of Professor Camille Fuchs ofthe Statistics Department at the Tel Aviv University.

The gap between the two main parties, the Likud and the Labor, which one week ago was just three seats, has widened to 10. The survey also shows that the Shinui party has lost two seats during the past week, and currently stands at 15. The Shas party has also fallen slightly to 12 seats.

Israel's general elections will take place on Jan. 28, and the Labor party has announced that it will not join a national unity government headed by Likud chairman Ariel Sharon.
