Summary
Israel heads to the polls on October 27th amid political chaos and Gaza tensions, with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s re-election bid looking shaky. Enter Gadi Eisenkot, former defense chief and leader of the rising “Straight” party, who’s gaining ground in polls — even edging ahead of Likud. His personal tragedy — losing his son and nephews in Gaza — contrasts sharply with Netanyahu’s son, who didn’t serve in combat, giving Eisenkot a powerful emotional edge. With parliament’s session ending July 17th and no clear majority in sight, coalition-building will be key — and all eyes are on who can stitch together the next government.
