Who they are
Har-Shemesh is 30 and a political scientist by training, with a first degree in government, diplomacy and strategy and a master's in international relations, security and strategy. The party says he grew up on isolated farms in the Negev, served as a soldier and commander in the Golani Brigade, represented lone-farm holders through a farming association and leads the neighbourhood-committees wing of a civic group. He and Matan Aharon Liberant, fellow students at Reichman University, started the discussion forum that grew into the party. He chaired it in 2026 after Ansbacher stepped down; the September 2026 platform lists him as its founder, coordinating the party's relations, with Louk as chairman.
