Moshe Feiglin

Moshe Feiglin is the founder and chairman of the Zehut party, a former Member and Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, a thinker and an author. For more than three decades, he has worked to advance a vision of a Jewish, sovereign and free state that brings together deep Jewish identity and personal and economic liberty.

He began his public career in the 1990s as one of the founders of the Zo Artzeinu movement and a leader of the public campaign against the Oslo Accords. He later founded the Manhigut Yehudit faction within Likud and became one of the movement's prominent figures.

In 2013, Feiglin was elected to the 19th Knesset on the Likud list. He served as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and as a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. His parliamentary work addressed, among other issues, the strengthening of sovereignty and national security, civil liberty and a free economy, reducing the power of bureaucracy, and returning decision-making power to the public.

In 2015, he founded the Zehut party, which presents a comprehensive worldview for every area of life in Israel, from security, governance and law to the economy, education and relations between religion and state. At the heart of this approach is the recognition that a Jewish state and a free state are not contradictory: identity gives liberty meaning, while liberty allows identity to grow through choice.

Following the October 7 attack, Feiglin returned to lead Zehut, believing that Israel requires fundamental change: a shift from containment and survival to decision, sovereignty and victory. Today he leads the party with the aim of offering the Israeli public a bold and clear alternative and returning the state to the people.
