Likud Leads Israeli Poll, Gadi Eizenkot's Yisrael Ratzon Gains, Bennett's Support Declines
A new poll by Israel Hayom reveals that if elections were held today, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party would remain the largest in Israel with 24 seats. Close behind, Gadi Eizenkot's Yisrael Ratzon party is gaining momentum, securing 23 seats and placing second. Meanwhile, Naftali Bennett's party, Beyachad, continues to decline, receiving only 14 seats. The Democrats, led by Yair Golan, also weaken to 8 seats.
Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu maintains steady support with 10 seats, while Shas and United Torah Judaism each hold 8 seats. Otzma Yehudit follows with 8 seats, the Hadash-Ta'al list with 6, Religious Zionism led by Bezalel Smotrich with 5, and Ra'am rounds out the Knesset representation with 4 seats.
The current coalition bloc would hold 53 seats compared to 67 seats for the anti-Netanyahu bloc, including Arab parties. The newly formed United Party by Hili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, who recently announced a joint run with Shira Shapira and Elisaf Peretz after declining to unite with Benny Gantz, passes the electoral threshold with 4 seats. Conversely, Benny Gantz, tested without Dedi Simchi in the poll, fails to cross the threshold.
