Gadi Eizenkot leads Polymarket traders' consensus at 52.9% as the likely next prime minister because recent opinion polls position his Yashar party as the largest or tied for largest, with him ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu in direct leadership matchups. Netanyahu's Likud trails or ties in seat projections ahead of the October 27, 2026 election, reflecting voter fatigue after years in office, security setbacks since October 2023, and coalition strains. Eizenkot's military record and family sacrifices in the Gaza conflict have boosted his appeal as a security-focused alternative. Recent developments, including Netanyahu's August 2026 public rejection of a U.S.-backed Gaza plan, have reinforced bloc divisions without shifting the overall competitive balance. Other candidates like Naftali Bennett remain marginal in current polling averages, as coalition math and bloc thresholds continue to define the race.
