Poll bombshell: Likud crashes to 19 seats, Winter fails to break through
Channel 13 poll puts Gadi Eisenkot's party in first place with 24 seats, while Ofer Winter's newly launched party falls short of the electoral threshold
Assessment
Israel's political landscape is shifting dramatically. The new poll shows Likud losing significant ground, dropping to 19 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot's party surges to 24 seats, taking first place. Ofer Winter's new party failed to cross the electoral threshold, meaning his challenge to the existing order has not materialized. The question now is whether Likud can reverse this trend or if a different governing coalition is emerging.
