COUNTDOWN
TO APRIL 9

Dramatic changes to Israel’s political landscape have left up to half of voters undecided on who to vote in the April 9 election, a survey has found.

The Israel Democracy Institute survey said an overwhelming share of voters who traditionally supported centrist parties were struggling to make up their minds.

Over three-quarters of potential Kulanu voters and 68 per cent of possible voters for Gesher said they were finding it difficult to decide who to vote for.

Both centrist parties are at risk of falling short of Israel’s 3.25 per cent election threshold and not electing any MKs to the Knesset at all, leading their supporters to consider voting for larger parties.
