A new poll conducted by Direct Polls a week after the recent elections indicates a shift in public opinion, showing an increase in support for the bloc led by Benjamin Netanyahu. The survey reveals that 34% of respondents would support new elections, while another 34% favor a unity government headed by Netanyahu. Significantly, 74% of those polled expressed opposition to a minority government that would rely on the support of Arab parties.
The poll's findings suggest a potential strengthening of Netanyahu's political position following the election results, which have yet to yield a clear governing coalition. The data highlights public apprehension regarding minority governments, particularly those dependent on external support from Arab political factions. The survey was conducted among a representative sample of the Israeli public, aiming to gauge sentiment in the immediate aftermath of the electoral process.
