A new poll by Zman Yisrael shows Gadi Eisenkot's opposition party leading Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, but neither bloc is projected to win a majority in the upcoming October 27 election. The poll indicates the anti-Netanyahu bloc would win 54 seats and the pro-Netanyahu bloc 49, falling short of the 61 needed for control. Ofer Winter's People of Israel party is also predicted to fail to enter the Knesset. This follows a trend of polls predicting a deadlock.
