A new polling aggregate, published Monday evening, shows Opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu each gaining a single seat, while Naftali Bennett and Itamar Ben Gvir each lose one seat. The overall bloc balance remains unchanged, according to the survey. The aggregate did not provide methodological details.
Earlier Monday evening, an N12 poll by Amit Segal (published at 21:53 Jerusalem) had shown Eisenkot's Yashar! party leading with 24 seats, Likud at 23, and Bennett's Together party falling to 15. That survey also found that a majority of opposition voters would prefer to form a government with an Arab party if the anti-Netanyahu bloc falls short of 61 seats. The new aggregate reflects a net shift of Eisenkot and Netanyahu up one seat from that baseline, while Bennett drops one and Ben Gvir loses one — a move that leaves the blocs steady.
The trend of Eisenkot's rise and Bennett's decline has been tracked by multiple Israeli media polls over recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 8, a Channel 13 poll showed Eisenkot's party overtaking Likud for the first time, and earlier this month polls from Channel 14 and Channel 12 recorded Bennett's sharpest drops.
