Most Israelis define themselves as “right wing,” according to a new survey from the Israeli Democracy Institute. Another 21% self-define as centrist, and 17% term themselves leftists.

Regarding voting, 50% said they plan to vote for right-wing parties, both religious and secular. Thirty percent said they plan to vote for centrist or left-wing parties. The rest were undecided.

Survey of likely Israeli voters by a leftist institute. Israelis holding holding right wing views constitute 62% of the electorate, centrists comprise 21% and leftists take up 17%.

The Israeli Left is badly divided but if this survey is accurate, the Left has no chance to win in two weeks time. And voting for overseas Israelis has already begun.

Been watching Habayit Hayehudi Chairman Naftali Bennett. I think I’m in love.

Regarding Bennet: "There is not going to be a Palestinian state within the tiny land of Israel," he said, referring to the area from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean. "It's just not going to happen. A Palestinian state would be a disaster for the next 200 years."

Acknowledging that Ben was going to win on the 22nd he added, "The big question is the question of power. If we get enough seats in the next Knesset [parliament], we'll become the biggest and most influential partner in Netanyahu's next government."

This was reported in The Guardian.
