Otzma Yehudit

"They see Otzma's polls, they saw how strong we are, and they wanted to join," Ben-Gvir elaborated.

According to the poll, if elections were held today, Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot would each lead with 23 seats, an increase of two seats for each compared with the previous poll.

The Otzma Yehudit leader said the parties appeal to different voters, warned against a unity government, and defended his policies on Gaza and security prisons.

A new Maariv poll shows Likud at its weakest level since June 2025, while Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar reaches a record 23 seats and Bennett maintains his lead over Netanyahu in the prime ministerial race.

Ben-Gvir made the trip alongside Development of the Negev and Galilee Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf, who is also a member of Oztma Yehudit.

Notably, Ben-Gvir's demand comes against the backdrop of prolonged clashes between Ben-Gvir and Baharav-Miara throughout the current government's term over a series of legal and policy issues.

The bill's proposal argues that in many Muslim countries there are clear restrictions on noise levels, and "some countries have almost entirely prohibited the use of loudspeaker systems in mosques."

This is Likud’s lowest figure since August 2025, when it received 21 seats in a Maariv poll. However, the coalition bloc maintained its strength from last week at 50 seats.

Fuchs dismissed comments from Haskel, who objected to the bill, and from the group of coalition lawmakers who also objected to it.

Poll: 55% of Israelis want Netanyahu to step down, as the coalition drops to 49 seats and the opposition strengthens to a majority.
