Internal Polls Show Smotrich's Party at 8 Seats, Likud at 30

Internal polls conducted by the Religious Zionism party, led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, indicate a significant increase in support, projecting the party to secure eight Knesset seats. This suggests the party has moved away from the danger zone of falling below the electoral threshold. The Likud party is also reportedly experiencing high confidence among its voters, with internal surveys showing it garnering 30 seats.

Meanwhile, the Likud campaign is intensifying pressure on the "Am Israel" party, led by Ofer Winter, warning of a serious threat to the right-wing bloc. A senior Likud campaign official told Walla News that Winter's party is "dropping votes for the right" and causing them to fall below the electoral threshold. However, no new strategic decision has been made regarding how to address Winter's candidacy at this time.

According to the Likud official, no internal poll shows Winter's party close to passing the electoral threshold, and the confidence level of its voters is lower than that of Likud or Gadi Eisenkot's "Yisrael Beiteinu" party. Nevertheless, political observers note a "chicken and egg" situation, as some of Winter's potential voters are waiting to see if his party demonstrates stability and passes the threshold in polls before committing their vote.
