A new poll among members of the ruling party reveals that legislator Tally Gotliv would top the party's electoral slate in a non-leadership primary, second only to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Gotliv's combative style has elevated her profile, surpassing several senior ministers and sparking concern within the party's leadership. The survey, conducted by Hebrew University researchers, sampled over one thousand members and highlights shifting allegiances and internal debates, particularly over military draft exemptions for religious students. The poll also indicates broader dissatisfaction among party voters regarding current draft policies, with a majority supporting conscription and penalties for evasion.
