🗳️ CHANNEL 14 POLL GIVES NETANYAHU BLOC A NARROW MAJORITY: A Channel 14/NEXT DATA poll projects Likud as the largest party with 31 seats if elections were held today. Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar receives 22 seats, Shas 11 and the Democrats ten.
United Torah Judaism, Yisrael Beiteinu and the Bennett-Lapid Together alliance receive eight seats each. Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionism receive six each, while Ra’am and Hadash-Ta’al receive five each.
The Netanyahu-aligned right-Haredi bloc totals 62 seats, providing a narrow one-seat governing majority. The Zionist opposition receives 48 seats and the Arab parties ten, for a combined 58.
Channel 14 also gives Netanyahu 54% in its prime-ministerial suitability question and a 56% to 44% advantage over Eisenkot in a direct comparison.
Channel 14’s recent polling indicates a largely stable 62 to 63-seat right-wing bloc, with Eisenkot emerging as Netanyahu’s principal challenger while Bennett and Lapid remain in single digits.
Its central assessment is that Netanyahu currently retains a viable path to reelection. However, the majority remains vulnerable to turnout, smaller right-wing parties failing to cross the electoral threshold and internal fragmentation within the bloc.
The findings differ significantly from several other Israeli polls that place the Netanyahu bloc below a majority. They should therefore be viewed as a Channel 14/NEXT DATA snapshot rather than an established national polling consensus.
