# Itamar Ben-Gvir's party could hold balance of power in Israel election

*Polling suggests the Otzma Yehudit Party may win between seven and ten Knesset seats, influencing future government coalitions.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 45 of 100, higher is better. Polling figures (7‑10 seats) lack a named source, causing a -15 penalty.
- Craft 95 of 100, higher is better. Quotes from Fleisher and Ayalon provide balanced perspectives and clear context for the polling impact.
- Hype 30 of 100, lower is better. Headlines are dramatic but the articles present the facts without exaggerated language.

Scored by MediaBias News; method at https://mediabias.news/methodology.

**The short version**

- Polling ahead of Israel's Oct. 27 election projects Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit Party could win seven to ten seats in the 120-member Knesset.
- This result could make any future government led by Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party dependent on Ben-Gvir's support.
- Ben-Gvir, as Israel's National Security Minister, oversees the Israel Police, the Israel Prison Service, and civilian firearms licensing.
- His platform includes the death penalty for murderers and broader gun rights for Jewish Israelis, according to Yishai Fleisher, an international spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron.

Polling indicates that Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit Party may secure between seven and ten seats in Israel's 120-member Knesset in the election scheduled for October 27. This projection suggests that any future government formed by Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party could rely on Ben-Gvir's backing, potentially positioning him to claim senior ministerial roles.

Ben-Gvir currently serves as Israel's National Security Minister, overseeing portfolios including the Israel Police, the Israel Prison Service, and the civilian firearms licensing authority. His political rise is seen by some reports as part of a broader trend of increasing influence for hardline and populist parties across Europe and the West, with comparisons drawn to figures like Marine Le Pen in France and Geert Wilders in the Netherlands.

## Disagreement on Ben-Gvir's impact

Yishai Fleisher, international spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron and a candidate on the Otzma Yehudit list, described Ben-Gvir's platform as centered on law and order, including the death penalty for murderers and expanded gun rights for Jewish Israelis. Fleisher also linked immigration to extremism in Europe and stated Israelis aim to prevent similar issues. However, former Israeli Ambassador to Washington Danny Ayalon argued that Ben-Gvir's statements have damaged Israel's international standing, portraying it as a racist country and making it a pariah state. Ayalon also contended that Israel has become less secure internally under Ben-Gvir due to rising crime.

## What the coverage left out

None of the reports printed below mention the specific date of the election, only that it is scheduled for October 27. No left-rated outlet ran this story.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 48 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

- Left: 33% (16)
- Centre: 32% (15)
- Right: 35% (17)

24 of 72 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-10-25T20:54:18.220Z.

**Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 5 times; 1 check found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-10-25T21:15:18.711Z.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- Left-rated outlets reported on Israel's military operation in the occupied West Bank. The operation followed a gun attack that killed two Israeli soldiers. Reports stated hundreds of Palestinians were displaced and movement was restricted.
- The Hindu's full report detailed the displacement of over 2,600 people in Hebron and arrests of 40 Palestinians. It also quoted a Hebron resident and the city's mayor regarding the blockade's impact.
- Several digests mentioned the army's plan for a lockdown or closure of the West Bank on election day. Some reports noted demolitions and expulsions from homes in Hebron.

### Centre

- Internewscast led with polling projections for Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit Party, stating it could win seven to ten Knesset seats and influence a future Netanyahu-led coalition. The report noted Ben-Gvir's role as National Security Minister, overseeing police, prisons, and firearms licensing. It also contextualised his rise within a global trend of populist parties gaining influence, citing examples from France, the Netherlands, Australia, Italy, and Germany. The outlet quoted Yishai Fleisher comparing Ben-Gvir to a 'Texan' in terms of law and order, and also included criticism from former Ambassador Danny Ayalon, who described Ben-Gvir's statements as making Israel a 'pariah state'.

### Right

- Reports from U-S-NEWS.COM, The Beltway Report, nytimespost.com, democraticaccent.com, and Fox News all highlighted polling that projected Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit Party could win seven to ten seats in the upcoming election, potentially giving him leverage over a Netanyahu-led government. These outlets noted Ben-Gvir's position as National Security Minister and his control over police, prisons, and firearms licensing. They also referenced Yishai Fleisher's characterisation of Ben-Gvir's platform, including the death penalty for murderers and broader gun rights for Jewish Israelis, and his views on immigration. Criticism from Danny Ayalon regarding Ben-Gvir's impact on Israel's international standing was also present in some reports. U-S-NEWS.COM additionally mentioned Ben-Gvir's 2007 conviction for supporting a terrorist organization and inciting racism, noting his campaign's explanation that it stemmed from displaying a sticker of Rabbi Meir Kahane. This report also detailed Fleisher's claims of Ben-Gvir tripling firearms licenses, establishing rapid-response teams, and overhauling the prison system, as well as the Knesset's approval of a death-penalty law. The potential for an uncertain alliance with Netanyahu was also explored, with a mention of recent public exchanges and Ayalon's assessment of Netanyahu's strategic use of Ben-Gvir.

**Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
