- Prime Minister Netanyahu is personally focusing on Gadi Eisenkot amidst political deadlock.
- Polls indicate a tie between political blocs, with Netanyahu's camp facing internal disarray.
- Gadi Eisenkot's leadership campaign is causing friction among his opposition bloc partners.

- A unity government proposal was recently floated, raising questions about post-election leadership.
With poll numbers showing a deadlock between political blocs and greater disarray within his own camp, Prime Minister Netanyahu appears to be personally focusing on Gadi Eisenkot. Following a trial balloon floated this week regarding a unity government, the question after the elections may be who will demand primacy.
The opposition is not without its problems either. The non-aggression pact forged in Yair Lapid's "basement" is currently being challenged, to put it mildly. Gadi Eisenkot's campaign for his party is certainly irritating his bloc's partners, as he insists on establishing his leadership while they refuse to recognize it, bordering on denial. However, even the inherent and destructive tensions within the opposition bloc, which ultimately always converge on the question of leadership, or more precisely now, on the legitimacy of Gadi Eisenkot as leader, seem like a walk in the park compared to the chaos in the "Kahane-Bibiist" camp.
