Recent polls indicate declining support for the current Israeli coalition led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. Their combined alliance is now projected to win at least 15 seats in the Knesset. Simultaneously, the New Unity party, led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, is gaining momentum, polling between 20-22 seats. This puts Eisenkot’s party ahead of the current governing coalition but still trailing the leading Likud party. The surveys suggest that potential mergers between various parties are unlikely to significantly alter the balance of power between the political blocs. The shifting dynamics suggest a more competitive election landscape as Israel approaches a potential vote. These findings raise questions about the stability of the current government and the potential for a shift in the political alignment.
