The Likud Party has experienced a significant rise following the war with Iran…The survey reveals that Likud gained 4 seats, increasing its total to 26, up from 22 in the previous poll. This marks the first time since October 2024 that Likud has surpassed Naftali Bennett’s new party, which has dropped to 24 seats.
Although Likud is strengthening, the shift primarily reflects changes within the coalition bloc. Otzma Yehudit, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, has lost two seats, dropping to 6.
Meanwhile…the Democrats, led by Yair Golan, have gained ground, rising to 12 seats at the expense of Yesh Atid, the National Unity Party, and Bennett’s party.
The overall bloc picture shows only a slight change: Netanyahu's bloc has risen from 46 to 48 seats, while the opposition bloc weakens by one seat but still maintains a majority of 62 seats, allowing Bennett to form an alternative government even without the Arab parties.
Public overwhelmingly supports ending the war in Gaza
A majority of 52% of the public supports a ceasefire with Iran, including 66% of opposition voters and 34% of coalition voters. On the other hand, 33% oppose the ceasefire (almost half of coalition voters), and 15% have no opinion.
The public is even more decisive on the issue of ending the war in Gaza and signing a deal for the release of hostages: 67% support the deal, including 90% of opposition voters and 67% of undecided voters. However, most coalition voters (54%) oppose the deal.
Has the public changed its opinion on Netanyahu?
Despite the ongoing war, most respondents (54%) say their stance toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains unchanged. About a third (32%) report a positive shift, while only 8% report a negative one. Among the undecided, Netanyahu gained more support than he lost.

They need to depot Yair Lapid to Gaza or Qatar. He is truly evil and a dangerous traitor.
Recall that Israel was deeply divided before Oct 7th on the issue of Supreme Court reform. Bibi now faces all that domestic discord. How much can one man take? Now that the he has saved Israel from destruction, if I were Bibi I’d retire.
i24NEWS poll: Yesh Atid plummets to four seats
A new Direct Polls survey for i24NEWS shows Likud leading with 33 seats, National Unity with five, and Yesh Atid dropping to just four.
People of Israel: Fools and their liberty are soon parted and elections have consequences.
Apparently Trump wanted to meet with Naftali Bennett a few weeks ago in light of tiffing with Netanyahu...
Personally, I don’t like Netanyahu. I would hope whoever Israel elect treats America and President Trump with the respect and gratitude he deserves.
Polls in Israel are more manipulated than even those in the US, if such a thing were possible. TV i24 is Left, but not as far Left as the new Jerusalem Post:
A poll by i24NEWS and Direct Plus polling found that if the elections were held today, the Likud would receive 33 seats.
Bennett 2026, led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, would receive 17 seats, the Democrats 13, Shas 11, Yisrael Beytenu nine, UTJ eight, Otzma Yehudit six, National Unity five, Hadash-Ta’al five, Yesh Atid four, and the Religious Zionists four. Balad would not cross the election threshold.
I don’t like Netanyahu personally, never got good vibes from him. He just oozes deep state and has too much history with the likes of Mitt Romney from his college days in Boston, and buddy-buddy with too many Democrats like Biden as well. He’s also actively tried to sabotage Trump in sly, two-faced ways during really delicate negotiations and moments where Trump was trying to chart a new better course for Middle East relations as a whole. And in those moments, Netanyahu has come off more about himself than about his countrymen and I don’t buy his spirituality either.
Personally, I’d like to see a different conservative.
Yariv Levin is the #2 guy in Likud, a very different personality than Netanyahu.
There are some potential Right candidates apart from Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. The Right Bloc could further expand with a return of Moshe Feiglin, and a political entrance by Ofer Winter and/or Yishai Fleischer.
Newly conservative war veterans will play a big role in the next elections.
Personally, I’d like to see an ACTUAL conservative.
Fixed that for you! :)
Labor is now The Democrats.🤣🤣
