Benny Gantz, a war cabinet minister and head of the National Unity party, would be able to form a ruling coalition if elections were held today, according to a new poll.

The poll, published by Israeli newspaper Maariv, gives Gantz’s party 32 seats, down from 33 in the newspaper’s previous poll last month but soaring from its current 12.

The parties in Benjamin Netanyahu’s pre-war coalition would win just 44 Knesset seats compared to the 64 they won in the November 2022 elections, while parties in the previous ruling coalition would win 66 seats in the 120-member Knesset — down from 71 last month before the National Unity faction split.

The poll also says opposition leader Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party would gain three mandates putting it up to 15 seats, while Netanyahu’s Likud party would lose two, bringing it down to 17.
