A new poll conducted by Zman Yisrael indicates a significant rise in support for Benny Gantz’s State Camp leader, Gadi Eisenkot, who now rivals Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party in projected Knesset seats. The survey shows Eisenkot surpassing Naftali Bennett’s New Right party, gaining momentum within the opposition bloc. Despite this shift, the opposition, even with Eisenkot’s gains, remains one seat short of a majority needed to form a government independently. The Likud party continues to hold a strong position, maintaining a comparable number of projected seats to Eisenkot’s State Camp. This suggests a potential deadlock in the next Israeli government formation. The poll highlights a fluid political landscape with shifting voter preferences as Israel faces ongoing political uncertainty.
