More than half of Israelis think Netanyahu will again be PM — poll

A majority of Israelis think incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will again be premier following Knesset elections on April 9, according to a Channel 12 poll aired this evening.

Asked who will be the next prime minister, 56 percent of respondents say Netanyahu, more than double the 22% who say former military chief Benny Gantz.

Another 4% of respondents say neither, while 18% don’t know.

Gantz’s Blue and White party beats out Netanyahu’s Likud in most surveys, but would have a more difficult path to forming a ruling coalition.
