Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party leads recent Israeli opinion polls for the October 27, 2026 Knesset election, positioning him as the frontrunner in trader assessments for prime minister. Multiple surveys through mid-September show Yashar capturing 22–24 seats, ahead of or tied with Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud at 18–22 seats, while Naftali Bennett’s Together party trails in the low teens. Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff running on security credentials and personal loss in Gaza, benefits from voter shifts away from the incumbent coalition after years of war and political fatigue. Netanyahu’s bloc typically polls near or below 55 seats, short of a majority, with the Zionist opposition bloc close behind and Arab parties holding balance-of-power potential. Coalition negotiations after the vote remain decisive, as no bloc has locked in 61 seats, keeping Bennett and smaller right-wing figures like Avigdor Lieberman as longer-shot alternatives in the market.
