New Poll Shows Netanyahu's Bloc Falling Short of Majority
A new Maariv poll released Tuesday presents a dramatic shift in the Israeli political landscape, with the "Yashar" party leading with 25 Knesset seats. The Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, trails significantly with 20 seats. Following them are "BeYachad" with 13 seats, the Democrats with 10, and Yisrael Beiteinu with 9.
Other parties in the poll include Otzma Yehudit with 8 seats, while United Torah Judaism, Shas, and the Arab parties Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am each receive 7 seats. Religious Zionism and Ra'am are projected to get 5 seats each. Notably, the "Miluimnikim" party garners 4 seats.
The poll indicates a stark division between blocs: Netanyahu's potential coalition stands at only 47 seats, while the Zionist opposition holds 57 seats. The 4 seats attributed to the Miluimnikim party could prove decisive, as their alignment with the opposition would bring them to 61 seats, providing the necessary majority to form a government according to the poll's findings. Arab parties collectively hold 12 seats.
Several parties, including Am Israel (2.8%), Blue and White (1.3%), Noam for Israel (0.6%), and Haredi Public (0.4%), failed to cross the electoral threshold in this survey.
