Recent opinion polls in Israel show a significant decline in the popularity of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His Likud party is losing voter support amid the escalation of the conflict with Palestine and internal political crises. According to the Maagar Mochot poll, “Likud” gets 25 mandates, which is significantly less compared to the previous results. Meanwhile, the “Our Home Israel” bloc, led by Avigdor Lieberman, is showing a significant increase in popularity, especially among Russian-speaking voters, and may receive up to 20 mandates.
Survey statistics
• Maagar Mochot: "Likud" — 25 mandates, "Our Home Israel" — 20 mandates.
• Maariv HaShavua: "State camp" — 24 mandates, "Likud" — 20 mandates.
• Direct Polls: "Likud" — 24 mandates, "State Camp" — 16 mandates.
• i24NEWS: "Likud" — 22 mandates, "State Camp" — 21 mandates.Reasons for declining popularity
The main reason for the decline in Netanyahu’s popularity is his inability to effectively deal with economic problems and security. The conditions for continued attacks by Hamas cast doubt on the prime minister’s ability to ensure peace and stability in the country.
Impact on the political landscape
The rise in popularity of Lieberman’s bloc could significantly change Israel’s political landscape. Experts suggest that, if the current trend continues, “Our Home Israel” could become one of the leading political forces in the country, having a significant influence on the formation of the government and the adoption of key decisions.
Thus, the political situation in Israel remains unstable, and the upcoming elections may lead to major changes in the composition of the Knesset and the country’s political course.
