Here is a poll showing trends and interests in the Israeli street before the elections
Khaberni – A new opinion poll revealed striking shifts in the Israeli political map, following the announcement by both Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid to contest the upcoming elections within a joint coalition under the name "Together", with an invitation to former Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot to join them.
According to the poll results, the Likud party leads with 33 seats, followed by the "Together" alliance with 24 seats, while the Shas party came third with 11 seats.
The "Democrats" party ranked fourth with 9 seats, followed by the United Torah Judaism with 8 seats, the same number of seats won by the "Yeshir" party led by Eizenkot. The United Arab List also won 7 seats, while the "Otzma Yehudit" party led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, along with Israel Beiteinu led by Avigdor Lieberman, each gained 6 seats.
At the bottom of the list, the "Religious Zionism" and "Arab Front for Change" parties each got 4 seats, while the "Blue and White", "The Reservists", and "The Economic Party" failed to surpass the threshold.
Scenario of coalitions with Eizenkot
Should Eizenkot join the Bennett-Lapid coalition, the alliance’s share would rise to 30 seats, with the Likud party maintaining the lead with 33 seats, while the rest of the parties keep close results, noting an additional gain for Avigdor Lieberman reaching 8 seats.
Public stance on opposition leadership
When asked about the most suitable candidate to lead the opposition camp against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 37% thought Bennett was the most suitable, as opposed to 12% for Eizenkot, while 46% considered neither of them appropriate, and 5% were undecided.
Division about the plea deal
The poll also showed a split in public opinion regarding striking a plea deal with Netanyahu; 30% opposed it, while 31% supported it on the condition of his continuing as the prime minister, and 34% supported making the deal in exchange for his retirement from political life, with 5% undecided.
Voters' priorities
Regarding the most important issues for voters, the judicial reform issue topped the list with 30%, followed by security issues and confronting Iran and "Hezbollah" at 29%, then responsibility for the October 7 attack at a similar rate, while 9% saw the cost of living as the most pressing priority.
