A new poll published Thursday evening by Israel’s Channel 14 points to a dramatic shift in the country’s political landscape, with the right-wing bloc reaching an all-time high while center-left parties continue to lose ground.

The survey, conducted by the Filber Institute and aired on Channel 14’s main news broadcast, indicates a clear strengthening of the right and increasing fragmentation among center-left factions.

The poll was based on a representative sample of 644 respondents. According to the findings, Bibi Netanyahu’s Likud party remains by far the largest faction in the Knesset, securing 34 seats. The Joint List emerges as the second-largest party with 13 mandates.

Shas and the party led by Naftali Bennett each receive 11 seats. United Torah Judaism and the Democrats party stand at 9 seats apiece. Yisrael Beytenu, led by Avigdor Lieberman, receives 8 mandates, followed by Otzma Yehudit with 7 seats. The party headed by Gadi Eisenkot wins 6 seats.

Blue and White, Religious Zionism, and Yesh Atid each fall to 4 seats, hovering near the electoral threshold.

Clear Right-Wing Majority

According to the poll, the right-wing bloc currently commands a solid and stable majority of 65 Knesset seats, enough to form a broad governing coalition. By contrast, the left-wing bloc stands at just 42 seats, with Arab parties holding an additional 13 mandates.

Prime Ministerial Suitability

In a separate question measuring suitability for the role of prime minister, Netanyahu leads decisively with 52 percent support. Bennett trails far behind with 20 percent, followed by Eisenkot at 14 percent.

Yair Lapid and Lieberman each receive 6 percent, while Benny Gantz brings up the rear with just 2 percent support.
