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?
"Every citizen will report to the induction center." Those who do not serve would face "revocation of a driver's license, a ban on leaving the country, exclusion from public-sector and government jobs," and loss of tax, housing and daycare benefits.

Reservists–Economic: seven issues; choose a tile to read the party’s words and source.
Who they are
- Yoaz Hendel founded The Reservists on Sept 18, 2025. On Sept 6, 2026, two days before the slate deadline, he joined forces with Yaron Zelekha's Economic Party. (Times of Israel, Sep 18, 2025; Sep 6, 2026)
- Pitches itself as a “third bloc.” Its bloc is disputed: IsraelEd says it would join Netanyahu; Times of Israel calls it non-aligned. (IsraelEd, Sep 28; Times of Israel, 2026)
- Surplus-vote partner: None signed. Hendel offered Ofer Winter a surplus deal; Winter did not respond. (Zman Yisrael, Sep 10, 2026)
Who votes for them
- New list; no 2022 seats. Zelekha's party won 0.29% (13,920 votes) in 2022. (IDI; Times of Israel, Sep 6, 2026)
- Hendel: “Those wanting government with ultra-Orthodox parties know who to vote for… Those comfortable with minority government relying on Arab parties have their opposition choice. We must provide the alternative.” (Maariv, Sep 7, 2026)
- First crossed the threshold in Channel 13's polling on Sept 23, 2026, with 4 seats. (Times of Israel, Sep 25, 2026)
Names on the list
- No. 2Prof. Yaron Zelekha, accountant-general 2003–07
- No. 3Einat Wilf, former Labor MK; joined Sept 7
- No. 4Haviv Volibovich
Marks follow the count so far. Each name shows Elected or Not elected once the result is official.
Channel 14, Sep 7, 2026
Pledges to be tested in coalition talks
- A “Zionist unity government without Arab or Haredi parties”; supports a state commission of inquiry. (Times of Israel, Nov 20, 2025; Ynet, Oct 4, 2026)
- On Netanyahu, mixed: “Netanyahu is not my red line” (Aug 11) vs. “whoever is responsible for October 7 needs to go home, and that includes Netanyahu” (Aug 23). (2026)
In their words
“Our mission is solely to establish a Zionist government.”
