A recent Kan 11 News poll reveals that Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party is gaining traction, primarily at the cost of the National Unity Party and Yisrael Beytenu.
If elections were held today, Likud would emerge as the largest party in the Knesset, securing 26 seats, while Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, would follow with 15 seats.
The poll indicates that Yair Golan's Democrats Party would garner 10 seats, Benny Gantz's National Unity Party would claim 19 seats, and Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit would receive 8 seats. Additionally, Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beytenu would win 14 seats, Aryeh Deri's Shas and Yitzhak Goldknopf's United Torah Judaism would each take 10 and 8 seats, respectively.
Hadash-Ta'al, led by Ayman Odeh and Ahmed Tibi, and Ra'am, led by Mansour Abbas, would each secure 5 seats. Meanwhile, the Religious Zionist Party, Balad, and New Hope are projected to fall below the electoral threshold.
The poll also explored the impact of a potential entry by Naftali Bennett in the upcoming elections. If Bennett runs, Netanyahu could see a further increase in both Likud's seat count and the overall size of his political bloc.
While Lapid may gain some seats, both he and Gantz are expected to lose a significant number if Bennett participates. In this scenario, Netanyahu's bloc could increase by three seats, reaching a total of 50.
