An opinion poll projected Dayan at 11 seats, Labor 46, Likud 33, with Dayan aiming to influence coalition formation. He advocated ending military rule in the West Bank and Gaza with limited self government for Palestinians, rejected statehood, and backed continued settlement on state land for security reasons.
