New Poll Shows Right-Wing Parties Crashing Ahead of Election
A new poll released by Zman Israel ahead of the upcoming 26th Knesset elections indicates a concerning trend for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While his Likud party shows a slight increase in support, it is moving further away from securing a majority. Both Shas and Likud gained one seat each in the poll, but this came at the expense of the Religious Zionism party, which experienced a significant drop.
Two other right-wing parties, "Amcha Israel" and "HaMiluimnikim," are projected to fall below the electoral threshold, failing to secure any seats. This further weakens the right-wing bloc.
According to the poll, the bloc opposing Netanyahu, including the Arab party Ra'am, would reach 61 seats, potentially forming a government. If all Arab parties are included, this bloc could surge to 68 seats, leaving the right-wing bloc with only 52 seats.
The poll projects the following seat distribution: Likud 23, Yesh Atid 23, United Torah Judaism 15, Yisrael Beiteinu 10, Shas 10, National Unity 8, Hadash-Ta'al 7, Otzma Yehudit 6, Ra'am 5, Religious Zionism 4.
