Likud Gains Slightly After Primaries, Netanyahu Bloc Remains Stalled at 58 Seats
A recent i24NEWS poll conducted after the Likud party primaries shows the party gaining one seat, reaching 31 mandates, up from 30 the previous week. Other parties such as those led by Gadi Eizenkot, the Democratic camp, and Naftali Bennett also saw increases in their support.
Despite these gains, the overall Netanyahu bloc, which includes Likud and its coalition partners, remains stuck at 58 seats, indicating no significant growth in the coalition's strength. The opposition holds 52 seats, while Arab parties collectively maintain 10 mandates.
The poll highlights the current political landscape in Israel, where the ruling coalition struggles to expand its parliamentary majority even after internal party elections. The results suggest continued challenges for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in securing a more stable governing coalition ahead of upcoming elections.
