TL;DR

A new Channel 12/N12 poll broadcast Monday evening shows the governing coalition gaining a seat compared to the previous survey, while opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot further extends his lead over rival Naftali Bennett. Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud returns to the lead in the personal suitability match-up, according to the survey by Amit Segal.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A new Channel 12/N12 political poll by Amit Segal, broadcast Monday evening at 20:54 Jerusalem time, shows the governing coalition gaining one seat compared to the previous survey, continuing a trend of modest coalition strength. Opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot extends his lead over rival Naftali Bennett — widening the gap after overtaking him in earlier polls this month. Likud, under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also gains a seat in this survey, and Netanyahu returns to lead in the personal suitability match-up over Eisenkot.

As The Zioneer has reported over the past three weeks, Eisenkot has surged from tying Bennett in mid-June to overtaking him, and his party now appears to hold a clear lead within the opposition. The survey marks another shift in a rapidly evolving political landscape, with Eisenkot consolidating as the main challenger to Likud. The poll was conducted and broadcast Monday evening; full seat breakdown and bloc sizes were not immediately detailed in the brief report.
