Political commentator Shlomi Gil outlined the potential electoral alliances ahead of the upcoming elections in an analysis published by Channel 16 on Thursday evening. According to Gil's assessment, Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett are collapsing in polling, while Benny Gantz and Dedi Smakhi are surprising observers with the emergence of a new candidate for a joint run.

Gil's piece adds a commentator's perspective on possible new alliances but does not cite specific polling data or named sources for the new candidate's identity.
