A new Maariv poll indicates Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political bloc is at its weakest point ahead of Israel's 2026 election, projecting the opposition to win 62 seats and the current coalition to drop to 48. The survey, published Friday, shows 49% of respondents would vote for parties opposing Netanyahu, while 36% would support his bloc. Netanyahu's Likud is tied with Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar! at 22 seats, and there is strong opposition to including ultra-Orthodox Haredi parties in the next coalition, with 83% against their inclusion. Additionally, public confidence in the government's decision-making has weakened, and data from Shlomo Maoz reveals a sharp increase in Israelis leaving the country, with a negative migration balance of 58,600 in 2024.
