Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot are competing to lead the largest party in Israel's upcoming October 27 election, impacting both political blocs. Netanyahu aims to strengthen Likud and reduce coalition partners' leverage, while Eisenkot seeks to establish himself as the opposition's clear leader, potentially at the expense of allied parties. Other opposition leaders are actively campaigning to prevent a two-man race, targeting distinct voter bases to secure their own parties' representation.
