TL;DR

A new Channel 13 poll broadcast Wednesday evening shows Gadi Eisenkot's party overtaking Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud for the first time, with Naftali Bennett's party losing two seats. The union of Yoaz Hendel and Tropper (in the day after) fails to pass the electoral threshold, and the overall bloc map remains unchanged, according to the survey.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A new Channel 13 poll broadcast Wednesday evening records a landmark shift in the Israeli political landscape: for the first time, Gadi Eisenkot's party — referred to in the survey as 'Yesh Atid' — overtakes Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud. The poll shows Naftali Bennett's party losing two seats, marking a further decline in Bennett's support as tracked in previous surveys. The union of Yoaz Hendel and Tropper (in the day after) fails to pass the electoral threshold, and the overall bloc map remains unchanged. The poll comes amid a period of rapid realignment in the opposition, as The Zioneer has reported in several prior surveys. The new data underscores Eisenkot's rise as a central force in Israeli politics.
