Summarized from Ynetnews by baba

English · Sole source

Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot is pursuing a strategy to make his Yashar party Israel's largest, aiming to weaken Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc by attracting Likud voters and pushing smaller right-wing parties below the electoral threshold. Eisenkot argues this approach offers the best chance for the opposition to win the upcoming election and form a government. His campaign believes this strategy is already drawing disillusioned voters and that Netanyahu's own responses indicate its effectiveness. Polls reportedly show Eisenkot ahead of Netanyahu in head-to-head surveys.
