An opinion poll showed that the popularity of the right-wing "Likud" party headed by Benjamin Netanyahu continues to decline among Israelis, while the centrist "National Unity" party headed by Benny Gantz continues to advance.

The Israeli newspaper "Maariv" said on Friday that the poll also indicated the continued progress of the far-right "Jewish Power" party headed by Itamar Ben Gvir.

The poll was conducted by the "Lazar" Institute for Study (private) for the "Maariv" newspaper and included a random sample of 514 Israelis, and the margin of error was 4.3 percent.

Pollsters expected that the Likud Party, if elections were held today, would obtain 17 seats in the Knesset, which is approximately half of its current seats of 32 seats out of the 120 seats in the Knesset.

The results of the poll showed that the National Unity Party would win 32 seats if elections were held today, compared to its current number of 12 seats.

Participants in the poll suggested that the “There is a Future” party, headed by opposition leader Yair Lapid, would decline to obtain 12 seats compared to its current number of seats, which is 24.

On the other hand, the results of the poll showed an increase in supporters for the right-wing “Israel Our Home” party, headed by Avigdor Lieberman, and the “Jewish Power” party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir.

If elections are held today, the “Israel Beta” party will obtain 10 seats compared to its current number of seats, which is 6, as well as 10 seats for the “Jewish Power” party, compared to its current number of seats, which is 6.

The newspaper "Maariv" said: "The Jewish Power Party continues its strong progress by winning 10 seats, which is the highest number of seats it has obtained in the polls."

The newspaper indicated that in total, the camp that rejects Netanyahu’s presidency of the government will obtain 67 seats, compared to 48 for the camp that supports him, if elections are held today.

While the coalition of the Democratic Front for Peace and the Arab List for Change gets 5 seats, knowing that it does not support either camp.

Based on the results, only 32 percent still believe that Netanyahu is most suitable to head the government, compared to 48 percent who believe that Gantz is most suitable for this position, while 20 percent do not have a specific answer.

Although there are many calls to hold elections, Netanyahu refuses to hold them simultaneously with the war
