Israel's opposition bloc leads Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition by 18 seats ahead of upcoming elections, according to a poll cited by Anadolu Agency.
The Channel 12 survey also found that Benny Gantz's rival, Gadi Eisenkot, leads Netanyahu 45% to 35% when Israelis were asked who is more suitable to serve as prime minister, a notable gap in direct leadership preference.
The report did not provide the full seat projections for all parties or the poll's sample size and margin of error, limiting a complete picture of the overall political landscape beyond the top-line seat gap and leadership preference figures.
Israeli polls ahead of elections have periodically shown shifts in public opinion, and this survey's findings would, if reflected at the ballot box, suggest a notable advantage for opposition-aligned parties over Netanyahu's bloc.
No election date was specified in the report, and it remained unclear how these figures compared with previous polling trends or what factors the pollster attributed to the current standing.
