A growing ideological divide among Israel’s youngest voters has emerged, with three-quarters of Jewish first-time voters aligning with right or centre-right parties—a share significantly higher than the broader Israeli population. The shift reflects changing political priorities among new entrants to the electorate, though the extent to which this trend will influence future elections remains unclear. Polling suggests these voters may prioritize issues like national security and settlement policies over traditional left-leaning concerns. The findings highlight a potential realignment in Israel’s political landscape as younger generations enter the voting booth.
Some three quarters of Jewish first-time voters identify as right or centre-right, higher than rest of Israeli society.
