“We have to wait.” What did Eisenkot, “Netanyahu’s main opponent,” say about the opinion polls?

- Gadi Eisenkot, the main opponent of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the elections, said that the Israelis “voted for change,” at a time when opinion polls at polling stations show that his bloc has only a narrow lead over Netanyahu’s coalition. These elections are the first of their kind since the October 7, 2023 attack led by the Hamas movement, at a time when Netanyahu seeks to win a historic seventh term in office.

Eisenkot added on Wednesday: “I stand before you in a state of enthusiasm. Today, the Israelis went to the ballot boxes to choose the leadership that will lead Israel in the next few years.

Today, we got the answer; The public voted for change,” but he added, “These are just opinion polls at polling stations, and we have to wait for the final results.”
