Majority of opposition voters back Eisenkot-led government with Arab party Ra'am - poll

In addition, 20% preferred holding new elections, while 12% supported a rotation government with Netanyahu. Just 7% favored forming a coalition with the ultra-Orthodox parties.

A recent survey conducted by the Hebrew University's Accord Center indicates that a majority of opposition voters, including supporters of Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar, Naftali Bennett's B Yachad, Yair Golan's Democrats, and Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu, favor a government led by Eisenkot that includes the Arab Ra am party. The poll found that 61% of these voters would support such a coalition, while 20% preferred new elections, 12% supported a rotation government with Netanyahu, and 7% favored a coalition with ultra-Orthodox parties.

The findings come as uncertainty remains over forming Israel's next government, with neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the change bloc holding the 61 Knesset seats needed for a parliamentary majority without support from Arab parties.
