A poll conducted by the Kantar Institute for Kan 11 News shows that if a party led by Naftali Bennett were to be formed, it would become the largest party in the Knesset with 24 seats, while Likud would drop to 22 seats.
In this scenario, the National Unity party would weaken to 10 seats, Yesh Atid would receive 10, Yisrael Beytenu 10, Shas 10, the Democrats 9, Otzma Yehudit 8, United Torah Judaism 7, Hadash-Ta'al 5, and Ra'am 5. The Religious Zionist party, Balad, and New Hope do not pass the electoral threshold.
Bennett also leads Netanyahu in terms of suitability to lead the government, with 38% saying he is the most suitable, compared to 35% who said Netanyahu is the best choice to continue in the role. In a comparison between Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, leader of the National Unity party, Netanyahu received 38% compared to 29% for Gantz. In a comparison between Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu received 36% while Eisenkot received 32%.
