A new poll published Friday on Channel 12 News found that Likud voters want Yossi Cohen, the former Mossad head, to be the next Likud leader if Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu decides not to run in the next elections.
Meanwhile, poll respondents believe the alternative bloc to a block lead by Likud should be led by Benny Gantz or Naftali Bennett.
The survey asked: “If a group of parties is formed to face off against Netanyahu in the next elections, among the following personalities, who do you think is best suited to lead this group?”
15% of respondents answered Naftali Bennett, 14% answered Benny Gantz, 11% said Yossi Cohen, 9% said Yair Lapid, 8% said Avigdor Liberman, 4% said Gadi Eisenkot and said 3% Yair Golan. 25% of respondents said they do not know.
Likud voters were asked: “If Netanyahu decides not to run in the next elections, who do you think should be the head of Likud?”
20% said they do not know. The person who received the most support was Yossi Cohen with 18%, followed by 12% for Yoav Gallant, 11% for Yariv Levin, 8% for Nir Barkat, and Eli Cohen, Yuli Edelstein, Miri Regev and Gilad Erdan were tied at 4%.
Regarding which two issues will be the biggest influencers in their vote in the next elections, 55% of respondents answered the handling of the war in the north and south would influence their vote, while 48% answered the economic situation, 41% said the October 7 failure and 25% noted the issue of the drafting of Charedim. Respondents were allowed to chose multiple answers, hence the sum exceeding 100%.
Regarding drafting Charedim who do not study Torah into the IDF, 66% of participants answered that it is necessary, 21% answered that it is not. Within the Bibi bloc voters, 45% believe that Charedim should be required by law to enlist, compared to 40% who are opposed to the idea.

The Mossad/CIA have done enough damage in Israel and elsewhere. They should be drained with the rest of the swamp.
I’m surprised that Matzav allowed your comment to go through. The dumb editors would not allow any anti-Zionist comment or anything that smells with something they believe is conspiracy to be posted. They’re so dumb and gullible, it’s amazing. No wonder most people don’t follow this site, not that other Jewish sites are better – actually they’re worse, much worse.
So what are YOU doing here? Phony.
