Netanyahu rises in the surveys of intention to vote after the war with Iran

The Likud Party of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, has increased its popularity after the war with Iran, according to a survey published late Wednesday by the Israeli public chain Kan, although more than half of the citizens consulted considers that the head of the Government should leave the policy once the conflicts in the region have concluded.

The survey, conducted on June 25, a day after the Fuego Alto with Tehran announced by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, shows that the Likud would obtain 31 seats in the Israeli Parliament (the KNESET) if elections were held today, compared to the 23 that gave him the last survey of the chain, prepared before the war, which makes it the strongest match of the country in the country This moment (although it would lose a seat with respect to those that it currently has).

The second party with the most support would be Israel Beitenu, of the nationalist politician Avigdor Liberman, who would get 15 seats, two less than in the previous survey (he currently has six seats), while Centrista Yesh Atid, led by former Prime Minister Yair Lapid, would rise to 14 seats (12 in the previous survey, 23 in the current Parliament).

Other opposition parties, such as the social democrats or the nationalist national unity would obtain 11 and 13 seats respectively, losing both two seats in Parliament with respect to previous surveys. Jewish power, of the ultra -right minister Itamar Ben Gvir, would remain in 7 seats. Religious Zionism, of the also extremist and head of the Ministry of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, would not get enough votes to get a single seat.

In total, Kan estimates that the current government coalition would achieve 56 seats, compared to 53 in previous calculations. At present, the ruling alliance has 67 seats of the 120 that the Knéset has, so from calling early elections the current executive would be at risk, according to the survey.

Despite the improvement of Netanyahu in intention to vote, 52% of respondents support or firmly support that they retire from political life once the war in Gaza is over, compared to 24% that declares itself neutral and another 24% who opposes their resignation. Netanyahu, who has been in power for more than 15 years in a non -consecutive way and faces several corruption judgments, remains a controversial figure in Israeli politics. His government has been strongly criticized for both his management with the conflict with the Palestinians and for the attempt of judicial reform that unleashed mass protests in the country since 2023.
