Jacques Attali Raises the Possibility of an Eisenkot Victory in Israel and Makes Predictions for the US and France

In a post on X on October 25, 2026, Jacques Attali said Gadi Eisenkot could win Israel’s October 27 parliamentary election, followed by a possible Democratic wave in the US midterms. He also expressed hope that a “Churchillian social democrat” would win in France in May 2027, without naming anyone. Eisenkot, a former army chief of staff, leads Yashar ! and is the main rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel’s vote is the first since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, and the first since 1988 to take place after a full Knesset term.
