New Poll Shows Netanyahu's Bloc Neck-and-Neck With Opposition
A new Israeli political poll released by Channel 13 News indicates a significant shift in the political landscape, with the "Yashar" party leading with 22 seats. The Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, trails in second place with only 18 seats. Naftali Bennett's party secures 11 seats, while the joint list of Bezalel Smotrich and Moshe Feiglin garners 6 seats. Ofer Winter's party receives 5 seats, and the list of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha crosses the electoral threshold with 4 seats.
When analyzing the blocs, the opposition to Netanyahu holds 52 seats, while the bloc supporting Netanyahu has 51 seats. Arab parties collectively hold 13 seats. The poll suggests a near-even split between the pro-Netanyahu and anti-Netanyahu factions, erasing the opposition's previous advantage.
The results come amid ongoing political maneuvering and public discourse regarding Netanyahu's leadership and potential alliances.
