Gadi Eizenkot's Yisra Leads New Poll, Netanyahu's Likud Drops to Second Place
A new Knesset poll released Monday evening by Channel 12 News shows a significant shift in Israeli political standings. Gadi Eizenkot's Yisra party leads with 23 seats, maintaining its position as the largest faction. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party follows closely with 22 seats, marking a new low for Netanyahu.
The 'Together' party secures 16 seats, while Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu and Yair Golan's Democrats each receive 10 seats. Religious parties Shas, United Torah Judaism, and Otzma Yehudit each hold 8 seats. The Religious Zionist Party, Meretz, and Ra'am each gain 5 seats. Several parties, including Tnufa, Blue and White, and Balad, fail to cross the electoral threshold.
This poll underscores ongoing challenges for Netanyahu as Eizenkot's party gains momentum ahead of upcoming elections. The results highlight a fragmented political landscape with multiple parties vying for influence.
