Recent polling data highlights a notable shift in political preferences among Israel's first-time voters, with a significant portion expressing support for far-right political factions. According to the findings, the parties associated with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich are projected to capture approximately 16 percent of the vote from citizens casting ballots for the first time.

This trend places these far-right parties ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party within this specific demographic. The shift suggests a potential realignment in the youth vote, which has historically been a key indicator for broader electoral trends in the country. While the poll provides a snapshot of current sentiment, it does not account for potential shifts in voter behavior as the election cycle progresses. The data underscores the increasing influence of nationalist and right-wing ideologies among younger Israelis, a demographic that has become a focal point for political campaigning. No other major political parties have yet released counter-polling data to challenge these figures, leaving this report as the primary indicator of current youth political leanings.
