A new poll conducted by Kan reveals a significant shift in the Israeli political landscape, with Benny Gantz’s National Unity party gaining considerable ground over Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party.
According to the poll, if elections were held today, Gantz’s National Unity party is projected to win 33 seats, a substantial increase from its current 12, while Netanyahu’s Likud party is expected to secure only 20 seats, a decrease from its present 32.
Other significant findings from the poll include a decline in support for the centrist Yesh Atid party, led by Yair Lapid, which is predicted to drop from 24 to 14 seats. The combined Religious Zionism-Otzma Yehudit slate also sees a slight decrease, anticipated to fall from 14 to 12 seats.
Both Shas and Yisrael Beytenu are forecasted to win 10 seats each. United Torah Judaism (UTJ) is expected to secure seven seats, while Arab parties Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am are both projected to receive five seats each. Notably, Meretz, which did not surpass the electoral threshold in the last election, is predicted to gain four seats, and the Labor party, a historic force in Israeli politics, is projected to not win any seats.
This poll, based on the responses of 600 participants, carries a margin of error of 4%.

Why post a dramatic headline in bold letters TROUBLE FOR BIBI?
He is busy fighting a war for all of us, he needs our support, not criticism.
Gantz gains (roughly equally) at the expense of Likud and Lapid. And it is also less likely he can form a government that relies to support from pro-Palestinian parties. Gantz will at best be able to form a 61 seat government.
If Netanyahu quits (or is dropped by his party), as usually happens after Prime Ministers fail miserably, Likud will probably gain seats, and more importantly, will be able to join a Gantz led coalition (since it turns out that Likud and Gantz have more in common with each other, than with any other party).
Also one has to figure out how the war affects the religious-secular divide. Will the militant secular parties (Lapid, Lieberman) be less focused on persecuting Orthodox Jews; will the so-called “Hareidi” parties be less demanding.
True BIBI was part of the bad concepts Israel adopted over the past few decades, BUT to put instead GANTZ? He was the Avi Avos Ha’bad concept.., Are voters that blind?
These concepts were lefty liberal ideals that the Likud unfortunately went along with….
Gantz is evil……may he Rot in Hell for what he is doing in the midst of war. treason___on another note let the Kid who killed Rabin go free…Rabin died for his murderous actions toward jews….LET HIM GO….WHO KNOWS THE WAR MAY STOP
WHOM EVER VOTES ON GANTZ….BEWARE OF WHAT G-D WILL DO
