Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael! party, stated that preliminary exit poll results indicate a complete lack of confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the "October 7th government." He declared that if these results hold, it signifies a victory for the "state-national-Zionist majority" in Israel. Eisenkot pledged to act immediately to implement the public's decision, aiming to replace Netanyahu's government and establish a "Zionist enlistment government" as soon as possible.
The average of exit polls from Channels 11, 12, and 13 suggests a slight advantage for the "change bloc" with 52 mandates, compared to 50 for the bloc led by Netanyahu. Arab parties are projected to receive 18 mandates. Eisenkot's Yisrael! party performed strongly in the polls, with results ranging from 19 to 23 mandates across different surveys, averaging 21 mandates. Eisenkot, a former IDF Chief of Staff, entered politics in 2022 and joined Netanyahu's government after October 7th as a minister without portfolio. His son was killed in Gaza in December 2023. He later left the National Unity party and formed Yisrael!.
Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats, echoed the sentiment, stating that the public has dismissed Netanyahu's government and presented a historic opportunity for a "real change government." He emphasized readiness to work with all partners to bridge gaps and take responsibility.
Meanwhile, Gideon Sa'ar, a senior Likud official and Foreign Minister, dismissed the opposition's celebrations as premature, asserting that according to the exit polls, the Likud remains the largest party in Israel. Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, had previously ruled out a plan for a minority government supported externally by Arab parties, which Eisenkot had not dismissed.
