Eisenkot's Yashar launches campaign aiming to draw votes from opposition bloc, overtake Likud

Former military chief Moshe Yaalon, known as Eisenkot, has launched his campaign to draw votes from the opposition bloc and overtake the ruling Likud party. This strategic move follows a recent meeting where opposition leaders decided to delay selecting a prime minister candidate. Yaalon's initiative is significant as it seeks to capitalize on potential voter dissatisfaction with the current government, aiming to reshape the political landscape ahead of the 2026 elections. His campaign could signal a major shift in Israeli politics if successful.
