While Bennett is still cautious of Netanyahu's honor, Eizenkot is working to lead the bloc that seeks to replace him
Gadi Eizenkot is gaining strength in polls as tensions rise within the opposition bloc ahead of upcoming elections.
Gadi Eizenkot has seen an upward trend in polls following a significant escalation in his campaign over the past few weeks, intensifying the existing tensions within the opposition bloc. The political environment has been critical as parties prepare for the final arrangements leading up to elections. For months, it was presumed that Eizenkot faced a dilemma of whether to align himself as the number one candidate for Yair Lapid or the number two for Naftali Bennett. However, the opposition now increasingly believes Eizenkot is determined to lead the bloc, aiming ultimately to position himself at the forefront of the coalition he has proposed with Bennett and Lapid.
