Yotam Zimri Slams Israeli Polls and Mocks Bennett’s ‘Together’ Slogan

Channel 14 panelist Yotam Zimri sharply criticized political polling in Israel during an appearance on "The Patriots," arguing that some surveys are not meant to reflect reality but to shape it. He said the polls he called "left-wing polls" are trying to manufacture public perception rather than measure it.

Zimri also mocked the way former prime minister Naftali Bennett is shown in some polls. The line that drew the most attention was: "The funniest thing is seeing Bennett’s picture alone, and underneath it says 'together.'" He said the presentation highlights a gap between the message being promoted and how it appears visually.

Zimri said these polls have previously shown the coalition at around 40 seats, a figure he argued did not hold up and later changed. The comments sparked reactions both in the studio and on social media, according to the report.
