Gadi Eisenkot leads the market as the frontrunner to become Israel's next prime minister because his new Yashar party consistently tops or matches Likud in recent polls, positioning it to secure the most seats ahead of the October 27 Knesset election. As a former IDF chief of staff emphasizing security priorities, Eisenkot has drawn support from centrist and center-right voters disillusioned with the incumbent government’s handling of the post-October 2023 conflicts. Benjamin Netanyahu remains a viable contender through Likud’s organizational strength and right-wing bloc alliances, though polls show his party trailing slightly and facing criticism over security failures. Naftali Bennett’s Together list and Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu register lower probabilities, reflecting narrower paths to assembling a 61-seat coalition amid surplus-vote agreements and bloc negotiations. Recent candidate-list submissions and head-to-head preference surveys have reinforced trader consensus around these standings.
