With the Israeli elections approaching next week, polls indicate a significant shift among the country's Gen Z voters towards far-right parties. Over 16% of first-time voters plan to support far-right parties, and nearly three-quarters of young people identify as right-wing or center-right.
According to BBC World News analysis, over 500,000 young first-time voters could critically influence the election results. Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has garnered significant support among young voters who believe he can provide security and help Israel project a "strong" national image. Political analysts attribute this trend partly to the impact of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, and the socialization of younger generations into more extreme political discourse over the past two decades, in the absence of any experience with peace.
Polls indicate that Israeli Gen Z voters significantly favor far-right parties, potentially having a crucial impact on next week's general election results.
