Far-Right Party Oztma Yehudit Nears Historic High in New Poll
A new poll published Friday in the Maariv newspaper reveals a concerning trend for Prime Minister Netanyahu, as his bloc continues to decline in support. However, the far-right party Oztma Yehudit (Jewish Power) is experiencing a significant surge, approaching a historic high in voter intention.
The poll indicates that the largest party in the Knesset would be Yesh Atid, securing 22 mandates. The Likud party follows with 18 mandates, while the Bayit Yehudi party maintains its strength with 13 mandates.
Oztma Yehudit is projected to receive 9 mandates, a notable increase and close to its all-time high. Other parties in the poll include the Democratic Party with 11 mandates, Yisrael Beiteinu with 9 mandates, the Joint Arab List with 7 mandates, and United Torah Judaism, Shas, Religious Zionism, and Zehut each receiving 6 mandates. Ra'am is polling at 5 mandates, with Am Israel, the Reservists, and HaKalkalit each at 4 mandates.
The poll was released in the context of Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech at the UN.
