Israel's Netanyahu Faces Election Threat As Opposition Surges in New Poll

A new opinion poll shows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party dropping to 20 seats while opposition parties surge to 60 seats in parliament, with Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar Party reaching 26 seats. The governing coalition would hold only 49 seats under current polling, ahead of upcoming Israeli elections. According to WION, Turkey has also issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, adding an international dimension to the political challenges confronting the Israeli leader.
