A new Channel 14 poll released Thursday suggests Israel’s governing coalition would retain its Knesset majority if elections were held today, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continuing to outperform his political rivals and expanding his lead on the question of suitability for prime minister.
The survey projects the right-wing bloc at 63 seats—enough to form a governing coalition in the 120-member Knesset—while the left-wing bloc would hold 46 seats with the Arab parties would account for the remaining 11 seats.
Likud remains the country’s largest party with 33 seats, unchanged from the previous poll. Gadi Eisenkot’s Yisrael party continues to rank second with 20 seats, despite a decline in his personal standing in the prime ministerial suitability survey. Shas follows behind Yisrael party with 11 seats, also unchanged.
Further down the standings, Yachad, led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, and the Democrats each receive 9 seats. Yisrael Beiteinu slips to 8 seats, while United Torah Judaism falls from 8 to 7. Otzma Yehudit holds steady at 7 seats.
Among the Arab parties, Hadash-Ta’al gains one seat to reach 6, while Ra’am remains at 5. Religious Zionism also improves by one seat, climbing to 5. Blue and White once again fails to clear the electoral threshold.
The poll’s prime minister suitability results underscore Netanyahu’s continued advantage over the opposition field. Netanyahu receives 53% support, strengthening his position from the previous survey. Eisenkot places second with 31%, followed by Naftali Bennett at 10%. Avigdor Liberman receives 5%, while Benny Gantz trails with just 1%.
The results point to a largely stable political landscape, with the governing coalition maintaining its parliamentary majority and Netanyahu continuing to hold a commanding lead over the opposition’s leading contenders.
Notably, this poll demonstrates distinctly different results than the recent polls released by Times of Israel and Channel 13, both of which show the Right Bloc failing any chance of forming a govt. Yet, if you will recall the assumptions which create the Great Polling Divide in Israeli polling results, it actually all makes a great deal of sense.
