What happened
A new Channel 12 poll shows Likud at 22 seats, Bennett’s list falling to 20, and Eisenkot’s Yashar rising to 20, tying Bennett for the first time. In the prime minister suitability question, Netanyahu and Eisenkot are tied at 36 percent. The survey also found that most respondents think Israel’s deterrence against Iran has weakened and do not trust Donald Trump to protect Israeli interests in a deal with Iran.
