Is General Eisenkot's Popularity Enough to Unseat Netanyahu?
Gadi Eisenkot's new party holds a slim lead over Likud in average polls, but the path to forming an alternative government remains complicated.

Recent polling averages in Israel show a slim lead for the party of former Israeli Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud.
Despite this lead, it does not necessarily mean that Eisenkot is on the cusp of the premiership, as the parties seeking to remove Netanyahu from power disagree among themselves on who should lead the anticipated coalition.
Observers note that any anti-Netanyahu bloc would likely need the support of Arab parties to secure a majority in the Knesset, though some leaders within that bloc appear reluctant to embrace such cooperation.
The Israeli political landscape remains deeply uncertain, with the divide between pro- and anti-Netanyahu camps showing no signs of narrowing, as multiple factions look to the next elections as an opportunity to redraw the balance of power.
