New Political Alliance Shifts Polls, Netanyahu Bloc Gains Lead
A new poll indicates a shift in Israeli political standings following the formation of a new alliance and a prominent defection. The "Kan News" poll shows the bloc supporting Benjamin Netanyahu leading over a bloc associated with Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot. This change is attributed to the new union between Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Ze'ev Galula, and the departure of Hili Tropper from the National Unity party.
The joint list of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Ze'ev Galula is projected to surpass the electoral threshold, securing four seats. This development complicates the electoral landscape for both major blocs, potentially impacting their ability to form a coalition government.
The poll was conducted following the announcement of Hendel and Galula's political partnership and Tropper's decision to leave the National Unity party, a move that has been seen as a significant blow to Gantz's party.
