A new Channel 13 poll published Wednesday evening marks a significant shift in the Israeli political landscape. Gadi Eisenkot's party has overtaken all others to become the largest faction in the Knesset, according to the survey. The Tropper-Hendel ticket, which debuted above the electoral threshold in recent polls, has fallen below the 3.25% threshold.
The poll shows the pro-Netanyahu bloc at 51 seats, the opposition bloc at 58 — a 7-seat gap in favor of the opposition. The exact seat count for each party was not provided in the initial release. The results come amid a broader realignment of the opposition, with Eisenkot consolidating support while the Tropper-Hendel faction struggles to maintain momentum.
Previous Channel 13 polls had shown a tie between Netanyahu and Eisenkot at 23 seats each, with Tropper-Hendel at 5 seats. The new survey indicates a further shift toward the center-left opposition bloc, which now holds a clear lead over the governing coalition.
