A new Kan 11 poll shows opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's party surging to 22 seats, overtaking Likud at 21, while the combined left-wing and Arab parties bloc reaches 65 seats, giving it a solid majority over the right-wing bloc at 55.
A new Kan 11 poll published Sunday evening marks a milestone in the ongoing realignment of Israeli politics: opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's party has overtaken Likud as the largest single party, winning 22 seats to Likud's 21. The combined left-wing and Arab parties bloc reaches 65 seats, a clear majority of 10 over the right-wing bloc at 55.
This is the latest in a series of surveys that have tracked Eisenkot's ascent. Earlier Kan 11 polls, as The Zioneer reported on June 16, showed Eisenkot surging past former prime minister Naftali Bennett with 21 seats. Subsequent Channel 12 and i24 polls have confirmed Eisenkot's lead over Bennett, while Likud's position has seesawed between 21 and 30 seats. The current poll is the first to place Eisenkot's party ahead of Likud itself.
The survey was conducted by the Kantar Institute for Kan 11. The left-Arab bloc's 65-seat total would be sufficient to form a government, depending on coalition dynamics. The right-wing bloc, including Likud and its allies, stands at 55 seats, reflecting a significant shift from recent months when the right bloc held a narrower advantage.
