A new NEXT DATA poll conducted for Channel 14 reveals public attitudes on two major political issues ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections: the possibility of establishing a government backed by Arab parties, and claims regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's alleged intentions to initiate a military move prior to the vote.
According to the poll results, 62% of respondents believe that opposition parties intend to form a government supported by Arab parties. In contrast, 23% believe the opposition has no such intention, while 15% stated they have no opinion on the matter.
In a separate question, participants were asked whether Netanyahu intends to launch a military operation before the elections, as claimed by opposition parties. 51% of respondents answered in the negative, compared to 44% who believe the prime minister does plan to do so. An additional 5% reported having no position.
