A recent mandate poll conducted by Maariv reveals significant shifts in Israel's political landscape. Yesh Atid, led by Benny Gantz and associated with Gadi Eizenkot, tops the chart with 26 seats. The Likud party follows in second place with 20 seats. The third spot is held by the Together party with 14 seats.
Further down the list, Israel Beiteinu and The Democrats each secure 10 seats. Otzma Yehudit gains 9 seats, while United Torah Judaism holds 8 seats, and Shas obtains 7 seats. The bottom of the list includes Hadash-Ta'al with 6 seats, and both Ra'am and Religious Zionism with 5 seats each. When grouped by political blocs, the coalition parties collectively hold only 49 seats, indicating a fragmented Knesset and potential challenges in forming a stable government.
This poll highlights the growing influence of right-wing parties such as Otzma Yehudit, led by Itamar Ben Gvir, who is strengthening his position. The data suggests a dynamic political environment ahead of upcoming elections, with no clear majority for the current coalition.
