Former Israeli army chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot is challenging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel’s election on October 27, according to Fox News and the New York Post. Fox News reports that polls show Eisenkot’s centrist party, Yashar, with a narrow lead over Netanyahu’s Likud, and that a 61-seat majority is needed to form a government. TIME reports that Eisenkot’s son Gal was killed fighting in Gaza in December 2023. The New York Post reports that Eisenkot says the bond between Israel and the United States is deep, and cites a Pew poll finding that public support for Israel in the United States fell to 37% in April from 55% four years earlier.
