Former Israeli Army Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, who enjoys widespread popularity, has emerged as a possible candidate for the prime ministership. A recent poll shows him securing 21 seats in the upcoming elections, surpassing the Naftali Bennett–Yair Lapid alliance. Currently, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in the lead with 23 seats. Eisenkot's campaign is based on his military experience, and he is expected to run as an independent candidate, though he refuses to form an alliance with Itamar Ben-Gvir. He faces criticism for his English language skills, with ongoing questions about whether he can translate his security popularity into enough political support to compete with Netanyahu on social and economic issues.
