Why Israeli Gen Z voters are drawn to the far right

Israel’s far right is finding support among a new generation of voters, with minister Ben Gvir identified as a significant figure among the country’s youth.

Support among first-time voters

The trend is particularly visible among first-time voters and members of Israel’s Gen Z population. Their support has placed the far right in a stronger position among younger Israelis.

Ben Gvir’s backing among youth makes him a prominent example of the appeal the far right has found with this age group. The development highlights the importance of young voters in Israel’s political landscape.

Why the trend matters

First-time voters represent an important constituency because their preferences shape the political profile of a new generation. Support for Ben Gvir among Israeli youth suggests that the far right is not limited to older voters and has gained traction among younger citizens as well.

The available information points to a clear generational dimension in Israel’s politics: young and first-time voters are providing fertile ground for far-right support, with Ben Gvir at the center of that appeal.
