    A party led by Naftali Bennett could influence the elections, opinion polls show – Israel News

    If elections were held today, a party led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett would come second among Knesset contenders on Wednesday, according to a Channel 12 poll.

    The survey sought to evaluate the political map following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant earlier this week.

    Under the current party structure, Netanyahu’s Likud party would remain the leading party, with 25 seats. Benny Gantz’s National Unity Party would come in second with 20 seats, followed by Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid with 15 seats. Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu would get thirteen seats, and the new left-wing party The Democrats led by Yair Golan would get eleven seats.

    Shas, led by Arye Deri, would receive ten mandates according to the investigation. United Torah Judaism under Yitzhak Goldknopf and Otzma Yehudit, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, would both gain eight seats. Hadash-Ta’al led by Ayman Odeh and Ra’am led by Mansour Abbas would win five seats each.

    Furthermore, the survey showed that the opposition bloc, including Hadash-Ta’al, would gain 69 seats, while the coalition would win 51 seats.

    Opposition to Gallant’s dismissal

    55% of poll respondents opposed Gallant’s dismissal, 58% of whom were supporters of the Netanyahu bloc.

    About 17% of respondents said they favor the appointment of Israel Katz as defense secretary, and about 56% said Gallant should remain in his position.
