An Israeli Channel 12 poll indicates the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot would secure 67 Knesset seats compared to 49 for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling coalition, Shehab Wire reported. The survey, conducted a week before the Israeli elections, represents a significant shift in public sentiment against the current government.
The polling figures suggest a potential majority for the opposition in the 120-seat parliament. Netanyahu's coalition has faced mounting pressure over its handling of the war in Gaza and domestic issues.
