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?
"Passing a Basic Law for Service Members under the principle of 'first in equality' — those who serve receive everything." Supports "expanding the pool of those who serve"; did not answer the question on sanctions.

Same recorded stance: LikudOtzma Yehudit
Religious Zionism–Zehut: seven issues; choose a tile to read the party’s words and source.
Who they are
- The renamed National Union–Tkuma party. Ben-Gvir refused a new joint run: “Smotrich must run in one party and we must run in another party.” (IDI; Times of Israel, Aug 28, 2026)
- On Sept 1, 2026 formed a “technical bloc” with Moshe Feiglin's Zehut that can separate after the election. Feiglin: “We are a totally separate party.” (JPost, Sep 1; Israel365, Sep 11, 2026)
- Surplus-vote partner: Likud (signed Oct 6). (Jerusalem Post, Oct 6, 2026)
Surplus agreement with Likud: both lists are on course to pass the threshold.

- The 2022 joint list took 45% of national-religious voters (up from 30%) and 14% of traditional voters. (IDI, Jun 28, 2026)
- Won 22% in settlements vs about 11% nationally. (Washington Institute, Nov 22, 2022)
- Settler anger over the draft: “I don't have a political home today.” (Times of Israel, Aug 7, 2026)

Pledges to be tested in coalition talks
- Netanyahu for prime minister; rules out Arab parties. (JPost, Aug 18, 2026)
- Would not rule out forming a government with prime ministerial candidate Gadi Eisenkot, but not at the cost of boycotting his partners in the right-wing bloc. (Jerusalem Post, Oct 22, 2026)
In their words
“Every settlement… is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea.”
The leader
Bezalel Smotrich. Finance minister, and a minister in the Defense Ministry overseeing Jewish and Palestinian construction in the West Bank's Area C. Said on March 1, 2023 that Huwara “needs to be wiped out.” Sanctioned since June 2025 by the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway (Times of Israel, Dec 29, 2022; Al Jazeera, Mar 1, 2023; Jun 10, 2025).
