Gadi Eisenkot has emerged as the frontrunner in Israeli polling for the October 27, 2026, Knesset election, with his new Yashar party frequently projected to win the most seats or edge Likud, positioning him to lead coalition talks. Traders have assigned him the highest probability in this market amid widespread voter dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the October 7, 2023, attacks and subsequent conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff who lost a son in Gaza, has criticized Netanyahu’s leadership and ruled out power-sharing arrangements while emphasizing security priorities and rejecting rotation governments. Netanyahu’s bloc trails in most recent surveys and faces challenges consolidating right-wing support, while other candidates such as Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman trail further behind in head-to-head preferences. The market reflects this polling momentum and the fragmented path to forming a majority coalition.
