Where they stand
Seven questions the site puts to every list. Tap a tile for the party’s words and source.
Bar colour: the stance’s place in the issue’s range of answers, from dark red at one end of the debate to dark green at the other, shared across all lists. The economy’s options coexist, so its bar is a pale tint with an ink outline, not a step on that range. Squares: one slot per answer, in the same order, with the party’s square in its own; a square in the last slot means no answer. Dotted inner border: not said publicly, from the record; open the tile to see why.
Haredi draft. Should Haredi yeshiva students be drafted?
Party leader Ben-Gvir: "We opened dedicated tracks in the police and Border Police, with full observance of Shabbat, kashrut, prayers and Torah study, appropriate gender separation and the establishment of the ultra-Orthodox 'Avnet' company in the Border Police."

- Led by Itamar Ben-Gvir. It won 6 seats in 2022 inside the Religious Zionism joint list. It left the government in Jan 2025 over the hostage-ceasefire deal; Ben-Gvir was reinstated as national security minister in March 2025. (JPost, Sep 24, 2026; Times of Israel, Jan 18 and Mar 19, 2025)
- Surplus-vote partner: None signed. Ynet reported Ben-Gvir “not interested” in signing with Ofer Winter. (Ynet, Sep 10, 2026)

Times of Israel, Sep 7, 2026 (no primaries)
Pledges to be tested in coalition talks
- A “fully right-wing government”; no unity with centrists, no Arab parties; demands the Defense or Justice ministry; no Palestinian-state talks. (JPost, Sep 2026)
In their words
“We survived Pharaoh, we will survive Keir Starmer as well.”
