Netanyahu overtakes Gantz for PM position for first time since October 7 - Poll

[toomuchtime_]

The Likud party has overtaken Benny Gantz's National Unity party for the first time since October 7, according to a survey published by Maariv on Thursday.

Against the backdrop of an impending counterattack from Iran and Hezbollah, for the first time since the beginning of the war, the Likud party returns to being the largest, while the National Unity party continues to deteriorate. This is according to the survey by Maariv conducted by "Lazar Researches," led by Dr. Menachem Lazar in collaboration with Panel4All.

Similarly, for the first time since October 7, Benjamin Netanyahu has made a dramatic comeback and overtaken Gantz on the matter of public preference for prime minister.




The Maariv survey also shows that the bloc of opposition parties, not including the Arab parties, continues to move away from a majority of 61 seats. The bloc is now 4 seats away from the desired majority.

Since its withdrawal from the coalition, the National Unity Party has been losing power, and it seems that its withdrawal has been a failed political bet, the study claims.

Current tensions seemed to have strengthened Netanyahu's standing in Israeli politics and public preference, according to a new "Maariv" poll.

For Gantz to leave the government while Israel is at war in order to campaign more stridently against Netanyahu was just brain dead stupid. While Gantz was in the government as well as being the leader of the opposition, he and Netanyahu were treated almost as equals, but now that he has abandoned the government during a war hardly anyone asks Gantz's opinion about anything.

Which he knew would happen. The Likud government now has no scape goats they can hang their ensuing screw ups, that Gantz knows perfectly well is coming.

Why do you think Netanyahu is doing everything he can to prolong a war, that he has a hand in having started in the first place?

His luck can only last so long, and when it all comes crashing down, the whole Likud party goes with him.

And Gantz's party will be there to pick up the pieces. If history has shown us anything. It's that right wing governments have a shelf life, and it usually isn't long.

The takeaway from this is that now Netanyahu looks like a wartime leader and Gantz looks like just another scheming politician, and that's why the polls are changing.

Damn the greatest security failure in Israeli history and they love him for it. Crazy.

Damn the greatest security failure in Israeli history and they love him for it. Crazy.

Although it happened on his watch, the Israeli people recognize there is no evidence the IDF advised him of any of the intelligence leading up to the attack, and they love him because he has proven himself to be a strong wartime leader and a very tough negotiator in dealing with friends and foes alike. The others, Gantz, Lapid, etc., just look like scheming politicians.
