Led by Nissim Louk · not in the polls · running for sovereignty over all the land

Updated

A small right-wing party whose registered entity dates from 2021, relaunched in November 2025 by the security researcher Yair Ansbacher and now chaired by Nissim Louk, whose daughter Shani was murdered at the Nova festival. Its September 2026 platform, written after 7 October, says the army should keep every territory it conquers, cancel the Oslo Accords gradually, demolish villages from which Israelis are attacked, and encourage emigration from Gaza through legal channels with the UN, the EU and Washington. At home it would draft every Haredi man into an adapted track, put the Land Authority under the Agriculture Ministry, phase out food imports, break up monopolies and cap senior public posts at eight years. Its older website platform also calls for a flat tax and judges chosen at the ballot box. The party drew national attention in May 2026 when Jonathan Pollard announced he was joining its Knesset run alongside Louk, then withdrew about two weeks later, saying he had been overwhelmed with death threats.

Rank on the slip decides who enters the Knesset. No pollster asks about this list, so there is no seat projection to set that rank against.
