ISRAELI POLITICS: LATEST POLLING SHOWS INCREASED STRENGTH FOR PARTIES TARGETED AS 'FAR RIGHT' BY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
(NEWS AND COMMENT)
A new poll out in Israel showing continuing lower popularity for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party. Likud at 17 seats compared to the 32 it won in the last election.
The Centrist "National Unity Party" of war cabinet ministers Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot remains the leading party with 36 seats. It only won 11 seats in the last election.
But the "Far-Right" parties "Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Strength)" and "Religious Zionism" are riding high in the polls. Otzma Yehdut at 10 seats and Religious Zionism at 5 seats.
When the Biden Administration recently imposed sanctions on four Israeli citizens for alleged violence against Palestinians it was reported that Joe Biden had considered sanctioning National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit Leader) and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism Leader).
One other result of recent polling in Israel to note.
60 percent of Israelis polled recently want the war against Hamas to continue and that is reflected in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's moves to go on the attack in the south of Gaza at Rafah and to continue to apply pressure on Iran with attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon and on Iranian targets in Syria..,
