Netanyahu or the Change Bloc: How did your neighbors vote?

An analysis of the 2022 election results in major Israeli cities, divided into the Netanyahu bloc and the Change bloc. The Change bloc led in Rishon LeZion with 49.73% compared to 47.69% for the Netanyahu bloc. Voter turnout ranges from 82.03% in Modi'in Illit to 38.29% in Umm al-Fahm.

Ahead of the 2026 Knesset elections, Maariv publishes an analysis of the 2022 election results, dividing the votes dichotomously into two blocs: the Netanyahu bloc (Likud, Shas, United Torah Judaism, Religious Zionism, and Otzma Yehudit) and the Change bloc (Yesh Atid, National Unity, Yisrael Beiteinu, Labor, and Meretz). Ra'am, Hadash-Ta'al, and Balad remain outside the division. The analysis presents the power map in major cities: the Change bloc led in several central and Sharon region cities, while the Netanyahu bloc won in others. A surprise was recorded in Rishon LeZion, where the Change bloc received 49.73% of the votes compared to 47.69% for the Netanyahu bloc, a gap of 2,843 votes. The voter turnout in the city stood at 66.20%. The article also presents the highest turnout rates: 82.03% in Modi'in Illit, compared to only 38.29% in Umm al-Fahm. In Arab cities, Hadash-Ta'al was the largest list in Umm al-Fahm with 40.54%, and in Nazareth with 45.31%. The article emphasizes that the three Arab lists are not included in either bloc, so voting for them should not be seen as support for either bloc.
