PNN – About 50 days have passed since the battle of Al-Aqsa storm, the latest survey of the Zionist magazine “Ma’ariv” indicates the continuation of dissatisfaction and disgust with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel and its escalation.
According to the report of the International group of Pakistan News Network, the latest survey of the Zionist newspaper “Ma’ariv” published between November 22 and 23 shows that not only over time, with the advance of Israeli forces in the north of the Gaza Strip, the trend of falling popularity of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party has not stopped, but also the finalization of the four day ceasefire during the war and exchanging Israeli prisoners with Palestinian prisoners has worsened the situation against him.
In this poll, the Likud party has won only 18 seats (14 seats less than in the November 2022 elections). Meanwhile, the “Internal Unity” coalition, led by Benny Gantz, broke its previous record and won 43 seats (31 seats more than the November 2022 elections).
Another moderate party, Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, the official leader of the opposition, also won 13 seats with a relative drop. The Shas religious party led by “Aryeh Darei” won 9 seats and the secular “Israel Khana Ma” party led by “Avigdor Lieberman” won 8 seats with a relative jump compared to the previous months. Another religious party, “United Torah Judaism” led by “Moshe Gafni” also won 7 seats.

In the meantime, the racist and extreme right-wing party “Jewish Power” led by “Itamar Ben Gower” has also maintained its relatively stable position by winning 7 seats in this survey, but the other extreme right-wing Israeli party, “Religious Zionism” led by “Batsalel” Smotrich”, the Minister of Finance, with a significant drop, received only 2.5% of the votes and fell below the threshold of 3.25%.
According to the results published in this poll, the left-wing party “Mortes” also gets 5 seats, and the Arab parties “Khodash-Ta’al” and “Ram” also get 5 seats each. The Labor Party is still under the threshold and won’t win any seats. The Arab party “Beld” won no seats with 1.3 percent of the votes.
In this way and with the decline of the Religious Zionist Party, the number of seats in the coalition supporting Netanyahu has decreased to only 41 seats, and the number of anti-Bibi parties has reached 79 seats. Of course, it should be noted that the winner of the political and military developments of 2023 in Israel, following the decline in the popularity of the Likud party and the far-right religious Zionist party, is the middle wing, which did not increase the popularity of the left wing.
Another question that was asked to the participants in this survey is also interesting; In response to who is more suitable to be the prime minister of Israel, 52% of the respondents considered “Benny Gantz” more suitable, 27% chose Netanyahu, and finally 21% chose the “don’t know” option. In this way, the recent war has captured Netanyahu’s last impregnable fortress, which was the superiority over his rivals such as Gantz and Lapid.
