According
to the results of a poll published by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, "If
elections were held today, the National Unity Party would obtain 40 seats in
the Knesset out of a total of 120," instead of its current 12 seats.
On
the other hand, the poll indicated that the Likud Party would only obtain 18
seats, compared to its current 32 seats in the Knesset, if "elections were
held today,” Khaberni reported.
The
newspaper explained that the poll showed an increase in National Unity seats by
four, compared to the results of last week's poll.
According
to the poll, the far-right "Religious Zionism" party, led by Finance
Minister Bezalel Smotrich, will not be able to pass the electoral threshold,
and therefore will not have representation in the Knesset, compared to the
eight seats it currently has.
The
newspaper reported that the Likud Party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, did not
achieve significant gains in Israeli public opinion after the process of
freeing two Israeli prisoners who were being held in Rafah.
As
for the far-right "Jewish Power" party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir, it
won 10 seats, compared to 6 currently, according to the newspaper.
The
"There is a Future" party, led by opposition leader Yair Lapid, also
lost half of its seats in the Knesset, winning only 12 seats, compared to 24
currently.
The
newspaper indicated, according to the results of the poll, "If elections
were held today, the pro-Netanyahu camp would obtain 44 seats, while the camp
rejecting Netanyahu's presidency of the government would obtain 71 seats, while
the coalition of the Democratic Front for Peace and the Arab List for Change,
which rejects both camps, would obtain five seats."
Regarding
the appropriate person to head the government, the results showed that only 32
percent of Israelis believe that the current Prime Minister Netanyahu is
suitable to head the government, while 47 of them believe that Gantz is most
suitable for the position, while 21 percent did not specify a specific answer.
There
is no possibility of holding elections in Israel on the horizon, as a result of
Netanyahu's opposition to holding elections in light of the ongoing war in
Gaza.
Maariv
reported that the poll was conducted by the Lazar Institute (private) and
included a random sample of 515 participants, and the margin of error was 4.3
percent.
