National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, leader of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, is the preferred candidate among voters of current coalition parties to lead the right-wing, pro-Benjamin Netanyahu bloc after the current prime minister is no longer in politics, a new poll found.

The Maariv survey found that 24 percent of respondents prefer Ben Gvir, followed by ex-Mossad chief Yossi Cohen (14%) and Bezalel Smotrich, head of the fellow far-right Religious Zionism party (11%).

Though Netanyahu made Ben Gvir a minister to bring Otzma Yehudit into the coalition, the premier has reportedly shown distrust in him, excluding him from key security meetings and refusing to give him more say over handling the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip than other security cabinet members.

The poll, conducted on July 10-11 by Lazar Research Institute along with Panel4All, also asked a representative sample of 500 Israeli adults (margin of error: 4.4%) who they would vote for if elections were held today, and showed similar results to other recent surveys, with Benny Gantz’s opposition National Unity trebling its current eight Knesset seats to 24 Knesset, while Netanyahu’s ruling Likud would win 20, down from the 32 it currently holds in parliament. Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehduit, which has six seats in the Knesset today, was predicted to jump to ten seats in the poll.

Opposition leader Yesh Atid under MK Yair Lapid scored 13 seats, down from the 24 it currently holds.

Hawkish Yisrael Beytenu, whose leader MK Avigdor Liberman refuses to join a government led by Netanyahu despite having served as a minister under him in the past, was predicted to rocket from its current six seats up to 14 seats, which would be its best result in 15 years. READ MORE
