Political commentator Chaim Cohen in a personal assessment posted on Telegram reports that the government is positioning Gadi Eisenkot as the center-left camp's candidate for prime minister, though the main obstacle is gathering peripheral Likud voters. He also notes advanced talks between two small right-wing parties to form a technical bloc, and similar talks between a centrist economic party and a security-oriented center-left party. The report is presented as personal opinion, not based on verifiable facts.
In a personal assessment shared on Telegram, political analyst Chaim Cohen outlined several political developments he says are underway. According to Cohen, the government is marking Gadi Eisenkot as the potential prime minister candidate for the center-left camp, though a key hurdle is winning over Likud voters from the periphery. He also claims there are advanced talks between two small right-wing parties aimed at forming a technical bloc, and similar talks between a centrist economic party and a security-oriented center-left party. Cohen explicitly states the assessment is his personal opinion and not based on verifiable facts. The Zioneer has previously covered a series of polls showing Eisenkot rising in voter support; however, this Telegram post does not cite any new polling data or official sources.
