A recent survey conducted by Channel 12 suggests that if elections were held today and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett were to run, as many expect, the pro-Netanyahu camp in the Knesset would suffer further losses.
The projected distribution of seats in such a scenario would be:
Likud: 24
Bennett’s party: 24
Yesh Atid: 11
The Democrats: 10
National Unity: 9
Shas: 9
United Torah Judaism: 8
Yisrael Beytenu: 8
Otzma Yehudit: 7
Hadash-Ta’al: 5
Ra’am: 5
Religious Zionism: 0
This would leave Netanyahu’s political allies with just 48 seats, a decline from the previous poll that had them at 51.
The survey also indicates a significant portion of the public believes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should step down. “60% of the public thinks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign, compared to 31% who think he should stay and 9% who are unsure.” Within Netanyahu’s own coalition, nearly a quarter—24%—support his resignation, while among opposition supporters, that number jumps dramatically to 94%.
The poll also sheds light on public opinion regarding Shin Bet head Ronen Bar. “Sixty-four percent of respondents think Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar should resign, compared to 18% who think he should remain and 18% who are unsure.” When broken down by political affiliation, support for Bar’s resignation is even higher among coalition voters, with 75% saying he should step down, while 55% of opposition supporters share the same sentiment.
One of the most striking findings in the survey is the overwhelming public support for an official investigation into the attacks of October 7. “A whopping 75% of the public supports the launching of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 onslaught, compared to just 15% of the public that backs Netanyahu’s opposition to such a probe.”
These numbers suggest that Netanyahu’s leadership is facing increasing scrutiny, with his base showing signs of fragmentation, and public confidence in government institutions in flux. The political landscape remains fluid, and with speculation about Bennett’s return, the coming months could bring significant shifts.

These “Chanel 12” polls is basically like CNN…
All leftist propoganda. The channel 12 polls are constantly wrong. Shlomo Filber Direct Polls has coalition on 63. Regarding the state commission, no one trusts the leftist judicial system, which heads such commissions. Also, who would trust Bennett that promised right and went far left, so channel 12 poll is not something to report about and mislead the frum readers
The truth is, Israel’s Prime Ministers are all puppets from the non-elected judges who run the country. Why does Israel even bother having a Prime Minister if he has no power? As long as there’s no judicial reform, don’t waste your time voting for anyone.
