Recent polling ahead of Israel's October 27 election shows Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party consistently leading Likud in projected Knesset seats, often by several mandates, while both the anti-Netanyahu Zionist opposition bloc and pro-Netanyahu parties remain short of the 61-seat majority needed to govern. This fragmentation, combined with Eisenkot's rejection of any coalition including Netanyahu and Likud's challenges consolidating smaller right-wing parties, has shaped trader views on Yashar's stronger position to enter the next government. Ongoing bloc negotiations, threshold risks for minor parties, and voter turnout among key demographics like overseas Israelis continue to influence the implied probabilities.
