Amichai Segal Predicts: This Is What Will Happen in Two Weeks

The dramatic Channel 12 News poll published tonight, in which Naftali Bennett lost his lead in the opposition bloc to a tie with Gadi Eisenkot, 20 seats each, is sending shockwaves through the political system. The political commentator for the news company, Amichai Segal, was quick to analyze the far-reaching implications of the numbers and pointed to a scenario that until recently seemed completely unimaginable.

Segal drew attention to the fact that Eisenkot not only passed Bennett in momentum, but also opened a direct line of attack on the governing party itself, which weakened in the current poll to just 22 seats. “Gadi Eisenkot is only two seats away from Likud,” Segal emphasized after the results, and explained that the entire political system is facing a critical turning point that requires a course correction from the two other main players on the field.

According to him, if the leaders of the major parties do not wake up quickly, the political map could change beyond recognition in the coming days. “If Bennett does not urgently change his campaign, and Netanyahu does not urgently change the public mood, it would not be far-fetched that in two weeks the Yashar party with Eisenkot will be the largest party in Israel,” Segal concluded in summing up the fascinating situation.
