TL;DR

A new Kan 11 survey shows Gadi Eisenkot pulling ahead of Naftali Bennett by four seats, as Bennett drops six seats and the right-wing bloc loses one. According to the poll, neither bloc would command a coalition without the ultra-Orthodox and Arab parties.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A fresh political survey by Kan 11, reported Tuesday evening, marks the latest shift in the rapidly realigning opposition landscape. Gadi Eisenkot now leads Naftali Bennett by a four-seat margin, while Bennett has dropped six seats from the previous Kan survey. The Likud-led right-wing bloc also shed one seat.

As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, an earlier Amit Segal (N12) poll also showed Eisenkot gaining and Bennett falling, while a June 11 i24 poll showed Bennett collapsing to 12 seats and Likud at 30. The Kan 11 results align with a sequence of surveys this month showing a rightward shift in the Likud camp and a fragmentation of the center-right opposition, with Eisenkot emerging as Bennett's main rival. According to Kan, the new polling data leaves both major blocs short of a majority without the ultra-Orthodox and Arab parties—reinforcing a three-week trend of a deadlocked Knesset map.
