A newly released Channel 14 News poll indicates renewed momentum for Israel’s right-wing camp, projecting a 62-seat Knesset majority while showing Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu’s Likud party gaining additional support since the survey’s previous edition.

The poll, published Monday evening, projects the right-wing bloc winning 62 seats in the 120-member Knesset. Netanyahu’s Likud emerges as the largest party with 33 seats, reflecting a gain of two mandates compared to the previous Channel 14 survey.

Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party is projected to finish in second place with 23 seats. Shas and the Democrats are each forecast to secure 10 seats, while Yisrael Beytenu is expected to win eight.

The Beyachad party and United Torah Judaism are each projected to receive seven seats. Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionism are each forecast to capture six mandates, while Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am are each expected to win five seats.

According to the survey, the overall balance of power would give the right-wing bloc 62 seats, compared to 48 seats for the center-left bloc and 10 seats for the Arab parties.

Several parties would fail to cross the electoral threshold under the poll’s findings, including Balad with 2.3%, Zehut with 1.3%, the Reservists’ Zionist Home party with 1.2%, Gilad Erdan’s party with 0.9%, Ofer Winter’s party with 0.6%, and Blue and White with 0.4%.

The survey also asked respondents who they believe is best suited to serve as prime minister. Netanyahu led the field with 54% support, followed by Gadi Eisenkot at 34%. Naftali Bennett received 6%, Avigdor Liberman drew 5%, and Benny Gantz finished with 1%.
