A new poll by the Israel Democracy Institute reveals that most voters for opposition parties would support forming a government with the backing of the Ra'am party if the next election results in a tie between the main political blocs. The survey shows overwhelming support among The Democrats' voters, with significant backing also from supporters of Bennett 2026, Yesh Atid, and Gadi Eisenkot's Yasher. Yisrael Beytenu voters are nearly evenly split on the issue. Some respondents from various parties say they would only support such a coalition if no other government could be formed. Recent polling indicates that neither the Bennett-led bloc nor the current prime minister's bloc is likely to secure a majority, making cooperation with Ra'am a potential deciding factor. Despite this, key political figures have expressed reluctance to partner with Ra'am again, though some suggest that Arab party support may be necessary to break the deadlock.
