Likud Loses Support as Netanyahu’s Path to Majority Narrows
(MENAFN) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party continues to see its support decline, while the possibility of securing enough seats to form a government remains uncertain ahead of the October elections, according to a new poll.
The latest survey shows Likud dropping one seat from the previous week, leaving the party with 20 of the Knesset’s 120 seats if voting were held today.
Netanyahu’s broader political bloc maintains 52 seats despite Likud’s decline, keeping it nine seats below the 61 required to establish a governing majority.
The emergence of a new political alliance between Yoaz Hendel and economist Yaron Zelekha further reshapes the electoral picture. The alliance passes the electoral threshold and gains four seats, while remaining unaffiliated with either of Israel’s two main political camps.
Even if Hendel and Zelekha decide to support Netanyahu, his bloc would reach only 56 seats, leaving it five seats short of the parliamentary majority needed to form a government.
The latest figures therefore provide Netanyahu with no clear route to a majority through his current partners, even under the scenario in which the newly formed alliance joins his camp.
Meanwhile, the opposition bloc headed by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot wins 51 seats, down from 55 in the previous week’s survey.
