Gadi Eisenkot leads Polymarket odds for the next Israeli prime minister because recent opinion polls consistently position his new Yashar party as the largest or tied for largest in the Knesset ahead of the October 27 election, with voters viewing the former IDF chief as the strongest alternative to Benjamin Netanyahu on security matters. Netanyahu’s Likud bloc has lost ground amid fatigue from the post-October 2023 conflicts and coalition strains, though it remains competitive. Eisenkot’s personal profile—marked by military experience and family losses in Gaza—has helped him surpass earlier challengers such as Naftali Bennett in head-to-head suitability surveys and bloc projections. Coalition arithmetic after the vote remains fluid, as no side is assured a 61-seat majority, leaving room for negotiations that could still alter the outcome.
