Bennett's Party Nears Electoral Threshold with Only Six Seats in New Poll

A recent Channel 14 poll reveals a sharp decline for Naftali Bennett's 'Together' party, which now holds only six Knesset seats, dangerously close to the electoral threshold. The Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, remains the largest faction with 32 seats, a slight drop of one seat from the previous poll.

The second-largest party is Gadi Eizenkot's 'Yisrael' with 24 seats, gaining one seat. Among the ultra-Orthodox parties, Shas, led by Aryeh Deri, holds 10 seats, while United Torah Judaism remains steady at seven seats. Eizenkot's 'The Democrats' secure nine seats, and Itamar Ben-Gvir's 'Otzma Yehudit' strengthens significantly, rising by two seats to eight. Avigdor Lieberman's 'Yisrael Beiteinu' declines to seven seats.

Religious Zionism, led by Bezalel Smotrich, remains stable at six seats, as does Mansour Abbas's Ra'am party. Hadash-Ta'al gains five seats. Several parties fall below the threshold, including Balad at 2.1%, the Zionist Reservists List at 1.2%, Zehut at 1.1%, Ofer Winter at 0.9%, Blue and White at 0.4%, and Gilad Erdan at 0.1%.

The right-wing bloc strengthens its majority with 63 seats, while the opposition bloc weakens to 46 seats. This poll highlights the precarious position of Bennett's party and the continuing dominance of Netanyahu's Likud in Israeli politics.
