Poll: Hendel-Tropper alliance falls below electoral threshold
The joint bid by Yoaz Hendel and Chili Tropper fails to pass the electoral threshold. For the first time, Eisenkot's party edges past Likud by a single seat
Assessment
A new Israeli political poll shows the Hendel-Tropper alliance falling below the electoral threshold, which would eliminate them from Knesset representation if elections were held today. The same survey marks the first time Gadi Eisenkot's party surpasses Likud by one seat, signaling a potential shift in political dynamics. The viability of smaller alliances and the stability of larger parties both appear in flux. The next question is whether Hendel and Tropper can regain support before the next election.
