Gadi Eizenkot's Yashar! Leads New Poll as Netanyahu Faces Setbacks
A new Knesset poll released Wednesday evening by Channel 13 reveals a challenging political landscape for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The party Yashar!, led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, emerges as the largest faction with 23 seats. The Likud party, headed by Netanyahu, trails with 21 seats.
Naftali Bennett's party hits a new low, securing only 12 seats, while the Trooper and Hendel parties each receive 4 seats. The opposition bloc is close to forming a government with a total of 60 seats, whereas Netanyahu's bloc holds just 49 seats, indicating difficulties in assembling a majority coalition.
This poll underscores the shifting dynamics in Israeli politics ahead of upcoming elections, highlighting Eizenkot's rising influence and Netanyahu's declining support.
