Number of seats won in the 25th Knesset elections in Israel 2022, by political party

The 2022 Israeli parliamentary elections saw the Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, secure 32 seats in the 120-member Knesset. This victory marked a return to power for Netanyahu, who had previously served as prime minister for over a decade. Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, was the second-largest party in Knesset, with 24 seats. The party was instrumental in forming the previous coalition government, which deprived Netanyahu of the premiership for about a year and a half. However, the election results and subsequent political developments have highlighted the complexity of Israeli politics and the capricious nature of the Prime Miniter’s support.Will Benjamin Netanyahu overcome the post-war backlash?Despite his electoral success, Prime Minister Netanyahu has faced growing disapproval since taking office. By spring 2024, 58% of Israeli adults held an unfavorable opinion of the prime minister, with only 41% viewing him favorably. This decline in popularity has been particularly pronounced since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, indicating a difficult electoral challenge ahead.Regional voting patterns hint at ideological clashesThe 2022 election results revealed significant regional differences across Israel. Voters from Tel Aviv supported the centrist opposition party Yesh Atid, which won almost 33 percent of their votes. The party outperformed Netanyahu's Likud party, which garnered only 17 percent of Tel Aviv ballots. Conversely, in Jerusalem, the Likud received just over 19 percent of votes, while their allies in the ultra-orthodox parties secured over 40 percent of local support. The opposition Yesh Atid party won only 7.5 percent of the votes in the capital. The split between the Israel’s two largest cities mirrors divides across the nation, largely falling on lines of wealth, religion, and social background.

2022年以色列议会选举中，由本雅明·内塔尼亚胡领导的利库德党在120席的议会上赢得了32席。此次胜利标志着内塔尼亚胡重回权力之巅，此前他已担任总理超过十年。由亚伊尔·拉皮德领导的耶什阿蒂德党成为议会第二大党，拥有24席。该党在组建上一届联合政府中发挥了关键作用，使内塔尼亚胡失去了总理职位约一年半。然而，选举结果及随后的政治发展凸显了以色列政治的复杂性以及总理支持的变幻莫测。内塔尼亚胡能否克服战后反弹？尽管选举成功，自上任以来，内塔尼亚胡总理面临着日益增长的反对声音。到2024年春季，58%的以色列成年人对总理持有负面看法，而只有41%的人对其持正面评价。自2023年10月以色列与哈马斯战争爆发以来，这种人气下降尤为明显，预示着未来将面临艰难的选举挑战。区域投票模式暗示了意识形态的冲突2022年的选举结果显示，以色列国内存在显著的区域差异。特拉维夫的选民支持了中间偏左的反对党耶什阿蒂德，该党获得了近33%的选票，超过内塔尼亚胡的利库德党，后者仅获得17%的特拉维夫选票。相反，在耶路撒冷，利库德党获得了超过19%的选票，而其与极端正统派盟友则获得了超过40%的当地支持。在首都，耶什阿蒂德党仅获得了7.5%的选票。以色列两大城市之间的分裂反映了全国范围内的分歧，主要沿财富、宗教和社会背景的线条展开。
