An N12 poll conducted on Monday indicates that Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar! party would lead with 23 seats if Knesset elections were held today, followed by Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud with 22 seats. Both parties saw a one-seat decrease from the previous week's poll. Naftali Bennett's Together also lost a seat, now at 14 mandates, while Yair Golan's Democrats are at 10 seats. Notably, Chili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel's new party, Bayit Tzioni - HaMiluimnikim, is projected to pass the electoral threshold with four seats, shifting the opposition to 70 seats against the current coalition's 50. The poll also found Eisenkot and Netanyahu tied at 38% as the preferred candidate for Prime Minister. The October 7 events and the management of the war emerged as the most influential issues for voters, with nearly 30% of those changing their vote citing October 7 as a factor, and 32% identifying security and war management as the biggest issue.
