A new seat projection poll published by Israel Hayom on Thursday evening shows Gadi Eisenkot's party pulling ahead of Naftali Bennett's, widening the gap from recent surveys where the two were tied or Bennett led. The poll also measures a potential new party headed by Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofek Winter at 5 seats, according to a link posted by the newspaper. The full breakdown of party results and bloc totals was not included in the brief social-media teaser. The results continue a rapid realignment in the opposition, with Eisenkot surging in multiple recent polls — including Channel 13, N12, Kan 11, and Channel 14 — to overtake or tie Bennett after weeks of rising support. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week on multiple surveys, Eisenkot has surged past Bennett in several polls, while Bennett's support has declined. The Winter party figure adds a new variable to the opposition bloc math.
