A Channel 14 straw poll simulating the Likud primary shows Defense Minister Israel Katz overtaking MK Tali Gottlieb for first place, while Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana jumps into the top three. Former Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, who recently left Likud, has been removed from the voting portal, according to the channel's continuously updated data.
Channel 14's Likud primary simulation, updated in real time, has recorded a major shake-up: Defense Minister Israel Katz has overtaken MK Tali Gottlieb for first place, while Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana vaulted into the top three. The poll, which allows voters to select their preferred Likud list, also shows that the most influential government figures have been pushed to the bottom of the national list, making way for new leadership. Additionally, the channel removed former Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein from the voting portal following his departure from Likud, as reported by The Zioneer on July 3. The result adds to a series of recent polls — including those by N12, Channel 13, and i24 — that have shown significant shifts in the Likud and broader political landscape, though this is the first simulation focused specifically on the party's internal list.
