New Poll Shows Yisrael Beiteinu Leading, Opposition Bloc Weakens as Ben Gvir Gains

A recent poll published by Israel Hayom reveals significant shifts in Israel's political landscape. Yisrael Beiteinu leads with 23 seats, narrowly ahead of Likud, which holds 22 seats. The third-largest party is Yahad with 13 seats, followed by Israel Beytenu and The Democrats, each with 10 seats. Otzma Yehudit gains 9 seats, while United Torah Judaism and the Joint List each secure 8 seats. Shas holds 7 seats, and both Religious Zionism and Ra'am receive 5 seats each.

The poll also indicates that several parties, including Beit Tzioni, Blue and White, and Hadash-Ta'al, fail to cross the electoral threshold. When divided into blocs, the coalition commands 51 seats, the opposition 56 seats, and Arab parties hold 13 seats in the Knesset. This data highlights a challenging situation for the opposition bloc, with Otzma Yehudit's leader Itamar Ben Gvir notably strengthening his party's position.

Additionally, Yisrael Beytenu's leader Avigdor Lieberman is preparing to launch a new party consisting of new faces without former Knesset members, signaling further political developments ahead.
