Netanyahu’s Likud Party Faces Declining Popularity in Occupied Territories Amidst Upcoming Elections
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, recent survey data released by the Mehr news agency, citing Al Mayadeen, reveals a considerable decline in the popularity of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s Likud party among Israelis. If parliamentary elections were to be held, the Likud party would see its seats reduced to 20. In contrast, the Eisenkot party is projected to secure 23 seats in such a scenario.
The survey further indicates that Netanyahu’s bloc requires 61 seats to form a government, but currently possesses only 52. The opposition, led by Gadi Eisenkot, holds 51 seats.
The Israeli regime is currently preparing for parliamentary elections scheduled for October 27th. Ostensibly, these elections will be contested between two main blocs: the first, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition of right-wing and far-right parties; and the second, comprising left-wing, centrist, and even some right-wing parties and factions, which are experiencing internal conflicts and fragmentation.
These elections, described as “pivotal” in the occupied territories, are significant as they will take place after three years of continuous warfare on multiple fronts.
