A new poll released Thursday evening by Channel 14 presents an updated snapshot of Israel’s political landscape, pointing to a significant internal shakeup within the left-wing bloc, even as the ruling party remains firmly on top.

According to the survey, the Likud continues to lead the field with 35 seats, maintaining its position as the largest party if elections were held today. In contrast, the momentum of Naftali Bennett appears to have stalled, with his party slipping to 11 seats, down from 13 in the previous poll.

At the same time, the biggest gainer of the week is the Democrats party led by Yair Golan, which surged by three seats to reach 11 mandates, signaling a notable shift within the left-wing camp.

The chareidi parties remain stable, with Shas and United Torah Judaism each holding steady at 11 seats, matching Bennett’s current strength.

Yisrael Beiteinu, led by Avigdor Liberman, rose by one seat to 10. Otzma Yehudit received seven seats, while the party led by Gadi Eisenkot dropped two seats to six.

The Arab party Ra’am also stands at six seats. Hadash–Ta’al and Yesh Atid each received five seats. Religious Zionism barely clears the electoral threshold with four seats, closing out the list of parties entering the Knesset. Blue and White (2.8%) and Balad (2.1%) fall below the threshold and would not enter the Knesset.

When broken down by blocs, the right-wing camp holds a commanding 66 seats. The left-wing bloc drops by one seat to 43, while the Arab parties together account for 11 mandates.

In the question of suitability for prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu leads decisively with 53%. He is followed by Bennett at 19%, Eisenkot at 11%, Yair Lapid at 9%, Liberman at 6%, and Benny Gantz trailing with just 2%.
