Jeremy's Knesset Insider

Issue Trends

Several indicators this week are worth treating as directional rather than just another data point.

The Qatar-ties question is widening the credibility gap. In the Channel 12 poll, 56% say they do not believe Netanyahu when he claims he knew nothing about ties between people in his office and Qatar. Only 30% believe him, while 14% don’t know. This is a clear majority finding, suggesting the story is landing less as partisan noise and more as a question of trust and competence.

The war “win” question remains net-negative. In the same poll, 54% say Israel has not defeated Hamas, compared to 29% who believe it has, and 17% who are unsure. Taken together, the picture is one of low trust and low victory clarity, a combination that tends to sustain political volatility rather than resolve it.

The Joint Arab List is being polled as though unity were already settled, even though it isn’t. Poll 3B shows a unified Joint List at 16 seats, while Poll 3A, the split scenario, totals only 11 across the Arab parties. That five-seat swing is substantial, and it is being tested despite the absence of any agreement on leadership or seat allocation among the four factions.

Bloc Trends

The Netanyahu Bloc leads only in the Channel 14 (Filber) poll. Across all other surveys, the Bennett Bloc holds the advantage. Notably, a unified Arab list compresses the overall map, reducing seat totals for both major blocs by consolidating representation.

Eyes on the Threshold

Gantz and Hendel fail to cross the threshold in every poll this week. Smotrich manages to clear it in only one.

What to Expect Next

Election timing preferences remain divided. In the Maariv poll, 49% prefer elections on schedule (end of October 2026), while 39% want elections as early as possible (May–June).

Calendar mechanics matter as we enter February. The current scheduled election date is 27 October 2026, now less than nine months away. However, if the government fails to pass the 2025 budget by March 31, 2026, the Knesset will automatically dissolve, pushing elections into 30 June 2026, roughly four months early. May is the fastest imaginable scenario but remains highly unlikely.

Issue Trends

Last week’s polling continued to reinforce the central dynamic of the current race: the contest is no longer between a dominant incumbent and a fragmented opposition, but between two competing governing coalitions whose viability depends heavily on bloc arithmetic and turnout efficiency.

The most consequential thematic signal comes from the additional-question data, particularly Channel 13’s question on Gaza reconstruction. A clear majority of Israelis (53%) view the emerging involvement of Turkey and Qatar in Gaza as an Israeli failure, compared with only 25% who reject that framing. This is not a marginal result. It suggests that the “day after” debate is already hardening into a political vulnerability, with Israelis increasingly judging post-war governance not as a distant diplomatic question but as a test of competence, leverage, and national credibility. Gaza’s reconstruction is becoming a domestic political issue, not merely a security one.

Bloc Trends

The Maariv poll is particularly striking because it shows Bennett reaching 61 seats without relying on cooperation with the Arab bloc. That result points to a plausible governing coalition built entirely within the Jewish-Zionist arena, without outside support.

By contrast, both the Direct Polls survey (i24NEWS) and Filber’s Channel 14 poll depict the opposite governing reality: Netanyahu’s bloc not only holds, but expands decisively, reaching 62 seats in Direct Polls and 65 in Filber. These two polls remain clear outliers, both in magnitude and in their governing implications, but they underscore the continued divergence between pollsters.

Eyes on the Threshold

Four parties consistently hover below the electoral barrier across multiple polls: Blue & White, Miluimnikim, Religious Zionism, and Balad. The significance is structural. These parties collectively represent several mandates’ worth of potentially wasted votes, and their success or failure could swing bloc outcomes by 3–6 seats. In a tight contest, a single party slipping under the threshold can determine whether a coalition forms or collapses.

The most notable development this week is Balad crossing the threshold in the Channel 13 poll, where it receives four seats. Even if this result is not replicated elsewhere, it highlights volatility within the Arab sector and the possibility that fragmentation could reshape both the size and cohesion of the Arab bloc.

What to Expect Next

A brief note on timing: this post is arriving about a week late due to my reserve service, but the political calendar did not pause.

The major looming event during this polling window was the showdown ahead of the first-reading budget vote, which ultimately passed on Wednesday. As the budget process continues, upcoming polls will likely reflect not only voter preferences but also perceptions of coalition stability and governing durability.

Issue Trends

This week’s polling reinforces a central dynamic in prime minister suitability. One matchup stands out: Bennett at 35% against Netanyahu’s 38%. It is the most crystallized contest, with both the narrowest gap and the lowest share of undecided voters. By contrast, Lapid’s 24% trails not only Netanyahu but also the undecided bloc, underscoring his difficulty in consolidating the alternative lane. Eisenkot, after peaking last week, shows renewed softness, losing ground to Netanyahu while nearly one-third of voters remain uncommitted.

A related undercurrent is the continued erosion within the Netanyahu Bloc. Data from Channel 12 show that a substantial share of former bloc voters are no longer parked safely within it: over 40% are now flowing to Bennett 2026, with another quarter undecided. This leakage helps explain why the bloc’s ceiling remains constrained outside the Channel 14 universe.

Bloc Trends

Bloc arithmetic continues to diverge sharply by pollster. Across four of the five polls, the Bennett Bloc consistently clusters in the high 50s to low 60s, often within striking distance of a governing majority, while the Netanyahu Bloc generally ranges in the low 50s. Filber remains the clear outlier, showing a decisive Netanyahu Bloc advantage (66–43), reinforcing its distinct methodological and ideological profile. Meanwhile, the Arab Bloc holds steady at roughly 9–11 seats across all polls, functioning as a fixed variable rather than a swing factor.

Eyes on the Threshold

The threshold zone is once again the most consequential arena. Religious Zionism, Blue & White, Miluimnikim, and Balad repeatedly flirt with or fall below the threshold, depending on the poll. Small movements here carry outsized bloc consequences. The Maariv scenario test illustrates this clearly: when Gantz and Hendel exit and Smotrich consolidates with Ben Gvir, the seat changes are modest at the party level but meaningful in aggregate. This reinforces a familiar pattern: the election will not be decided by headline parties, but by who survives the bottom tier.

Against this backdrop, the Gantz question becomes less theoretical and more strategic. With a plurality of voters, across both coalition and opposition, favoring his exit from politics, and only limited support for independent continuation, the data suggest that further fragmentation serves no bloc interest. Whether through withdrawal or a clear alignment choice, indecision now carries a higher systemic cost than any single move he could make.

What to Expect Next

Expect intensified messaging aimed less at ideological persuasion and more at reassurance—competence, governability, and threshold discipline. Parties hovering near the cutoff will face growing pressure to merge, withdraw, or clearly signal where their voters should land.

Issue Trends

Across all five polls from last week, one pattern is now unmistakable: Naftali Bennett has consolidated the opposition lane, while the rest of the opposition field continues to fragment.

In the four mainstream pollsters (Maariv, Channel 12, Channel 13, Zman Yisrael), Bennett is either tied with Likud or running within striking distance. His party ranges from 21 to 24 seats, while Likud ranges from 25 to 28. This is not the pattern of a dominant incumbent, rather it is the pattern of a contested leadership race.

Channel 14 stands apart, giving Likud 35 and Bennett just 13, but that poll is the outlier rather than the trend. In the other four polls, Bennett is effectively the alternative prime minister in waiting.

This is reinforced by the only leadership question asked this week. In Channel 14’s suitability question, Netanyahu leads with 53%, but Bennett is second at 26%, more than double Eisenkot and far ahead of Lapid, Lieberman, or Gantz. Even in a right-leaning sample, Bennett is the only opposition figure who registers as a serious governing option.

The issue environment is also turning sharply negative for the coalition. In Maariv, 68% of Israelis fear political violence before the next election. That is not a sign of political stability, it is a warning that the public sees polarization spiraling out of control.

Meanwhile, in Channel 13, 39% of Israelis say their economic situation has worsened, compared to just 10% who say it improved. This creates exactly the kind of climate in which incumbents struggle and challengers gain traction.

One of the most politically potent data points this week is the soldiers’ benefits question from Channel 13. When asked which camp would better protect the rights of regular soldiers and reservists, 46% of the public chose the Bennett-led opposition versus just 32% for the Netanyahu-led coalition. Among respondents with an opinion, the margin widens dramatically to 58%–42% in Bennett’s favor. This is not a marginal issue: in the middle of a prolonged war and a reserve-duty crisis, this cuts directly into the coalition’s traditional advantage on security. The fact that voters now associate Bennett and the opposition, not the government, with better treatment of those serving is a warning sign for the coalition and a strategic opening for Bennett’s camp.

Bloc Trends

The bloc numbers tell a story of two rival governing coalitions, both hovering around the 61-seat line. Four of the five polls show a remarkably tight picture: Netanyahu’s bloc stuck in the low-50s, Bennett’s bloc sitting in the high-50s.

The coalition is no longer expanding. Likud is stable but capped, and the ultra-Orthodox parties are already near saturation. Even Otzma Yehudit’s gains simply reshuffle seats within the bloc rather than creating new ones.

By contrast, Bennett’s bloc is structurally broader. It contains the entire secular center-left (Yesh Atid, Democrats, Yashar), and a growing national-liberal right (Bennett and Yisrael Beitenu). This gives Bennett more coalition arithmetic paths than Netanyahu.

Eyes on the Threshold

This election will almost certainly be decided below the 3.25% line. Four parties are floating dangerously close to extinction.

This matters because every wasted right-wing vote hurt Netanyahu twice. If Smotrich or an additional party like Noam runs and fails, those votes disappear entirely, shrinking the bloc even if Likud remains strong.

On the Arab side, Balad remains a spoiler. If it runs and fails, the Arab bloc drops below 10. If it withdraws or merges, the Arab parties consolidate and that directly strengthens their blocking majority.

The opposition has mostly stabilized above the threshold with the exception of Hendel’s party who is widely expected to merge or drop out before the final party lists are submitted, six weeks before the election date.

What to Expect Next

Unless something dramatic changes, the campaign is heading toward a binary referendum: Netanyahu vs Bennett, with everyone else reduced to bloc math.

Bennett is now running not as a protest candidate, but as a government-in-waiting. He leads the opposition in seats, he leads it in coalition arithmetic, and he leads it in perceived competence on security and reservist issues.

Netanyahu still has the largest single party, but his bloc is capped, brittle, and hostage to threshold failures.

The next phase of the race will revolve around three things: Whether Bennett can keep pulling soft Likud voters as economic and security anxiety rises, whether Smotrich & others splinter wasted votes, and whether the Arab parties are able to pull together a merger into a joint list.

Issue Trends

Bennett continues to emerge as the principal alternative to Netanyahu in both head-to-head and multi-candidate polling. In the Channel 12 survey, both Lapid and Eizenkot record matchups in which the combined share of respondents selecting “neither candidate” or “don’t know” exceeds their individual support against Netanyahu, underscoring their continued difficulty in consolidating opposition voters.

The fallout from revelations of alleged betrayal within Netanyahu’s office, following reports that senior advisers received funds from Qatar, has remained a dominant media issue. The Walla poll finds that 50% of Israelis agree that advisers promoting Qatari interests during wartime constitutes an act of betrayal. Agreement rises to over 70% among opposition voters, while standing at around 30% among coalition voters.

Bloc Trends

The Netanyahu Bloc posts a particularly strong showing in the Channel 14 poll, reaching 66 seats, compared with 49–52 seats in the other five polls published or broadcast this week. The Bennett Bloc peaks at 61 seats in the Walla poll in contrast to 44 seats in the Channel 14 survey. The remaining four polls cluster closer to the Walla result, placing the Bennett Bloc in the 57–59 seat range.

Shas’s 11-seat result in the Channel 14 poll and the Democrats’ 11 seats in the Channel 12 poll are the only instances this week in which a party other than Likud or Bennett exceeds ten seats.

Eyes on the Threshold

Hendel clears the electoral threshold in two polls, while Smotrich does so in only one survey (Channel 14). As in recent weeks, Balad and Blue and White (Gantz) fail to cross the threshold in any poll.

What to Expect Next

With the calendar turning, Israel has now entered 2026, an election year. Fewer than 300 days remain until the scheduled election on 27 October 2026. Ongoing Knesset deliberations over the state budget in the Appropriations Committee and the coalition’s draft legislation on military service in the Defense & Foreign Affairs Committee remain potential flashpoints that could precipitate an early election.
