New polls conducted by news channels show a drop in the number of projected seats for the Israel Resilience party led by former IDF chief Benny Gantz.
A Channel 12 poll shows Israel Resilience getting 18 seats, down from 24 forecast in recent polls. The loss in support for Gantz translates into more support for the Labor party, who is projected to win 10 seats, up from 5 seats in last week’s polls.
Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid is projected to win 12 points, a slight increase from the 10 projected last week.
The poll shows Netanyahu’s Likud staying comfortably in the lead with 30 seats. Other polls conducted in recent weeks have the ruling party hovering between 30-32 seats.
A Channel 11 poll conducted yesterday shows similar results, projecting 30 seats for the Likud, 20 for Israel Resilience 10 for Labor and 10 for Yesh Atid.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
