A new poll conducted by Kan 11 indicates a significant shift in the Israeli political landscape, with the opposition bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, now holding a narrow advantage over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. The survey shows Eisenkot's bloc securing 52 seats in the Knesset, compared to 51 seats for Netanyahu's bloc, a reversal from the previous poll where Netanyahu's bloc led by three seats. Eisenkot himself is projected to receive 23 mandates, while Netanyahu is projected to receive 21.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's party remains steady with 12 mandates. Notably, candidate Ofer Winter has fallen below the electoral threshold, indicating he would not secure representation in the Knesset based on this poll. The poll also highlighted the performance of other candidates, including Yaron Zelicha, Gadi Eisenkot, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Yoaz Hendel, with visual representations provided by photographer Absalom Shoshani and Flash 90.
The shift in bloc support is the most prominent change, with Netanyahu's bloc losing two mandates and dropping to 51, while Eisenkot's bloc gained two mandates to reach 52. This suggests a potential change in the political balance of power if these trends continue.
