A News 14 poll broadcast Thursday, based on research by Shlomo Filber and NEXT DATA, shows major movement inside the opposition while the right-wing bloc keeps a clear majority. Likud remains the largest party with 33 Knesset seats, and the right-wing bloc holds 62 seats overall, compared with 47 for the left-wing bloc and 11 for the Arab parties.
The biggest shift in the survey is a sharp rise for Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party, which jumps to 20 seats and becomes the second-largest party in the Knesset. At the same time, Naftali Bennett’s Yachad party continues to weaken and falls to 10 seats, leaving it 10 seats behind Eisenkot. Other results give Shas 10 seats, the Democrats 9, Yisrael Beiteinu 8, and United Torah Judaism 8.
Further down, Otzma Yehudit gets 7 seats, Hadash-Ta’al 6, Ra’am 5, and Religious Zionism 4. Blue and White remains below the electoral threshold with just 1.8% support. The poll says that even if Bennett runs, the right-wing bloc still keeps a solid majority.
In the preferred prime minister question, Benjamin Netanyahu leads with 45% support, followed by Eisenkot with 34%, Bennett with 12%, Avigdor Liberman with 8%, and Benny Gantz with 1%. The survey was conducted on June 18, 2026, among 1,552 adults from the general population.
