Questions and Answers

No. Votes are wasted when people vote for "the Right" and get more of the same failing policies that brought us to this point. Zehut is not here to reinforce the failed paradigm — it is here to replace it.

Extreme is living with the next massacre as a legitimate possibility. Extreme is turning an entire generation of young people who serve their country into mortgage slaves. The truth sounds extreme only when the lie becomes the norm.

Zehut does not want religious coercion. We want to stop running away from our national identity. When a nation does not know who it is — it does not know how to defend itself.

We’re not inventing anything new. We’re reviving the ancient vision of the People of Israel. Once that vision is clearly established, we’ll remove the barriers the state currently places in our way. Today, the state is an obstacle to free choice in education, housing, and the economy, as well as to the proper enforcement of sovereignty throughout the land. When we return power to the people, the whole system will transform itself.

Thanks to our many years of activity, Israel now has a movement with a mature vision and a comprehensive platform. The question is not whether we will fail again, but whether the People of Israel can afford to continue on the path that led to the crisis — without identity, without sovereignty, and without strength.

Zehut supports a free-market economy and reducing government intervention. Instead of more budgets and increased centralization, Zehut believes Israel should dramatically cut taxes and regulations in order to increase competition, lower the cost of living and return money and power to the people.

By opening markets to competition, removing import barriers and monopolies, and cutting the bureaucracy that drives up prices for goods and services. When the state stops “protecting” monopolies, prices go down.

Free up land from the government monopoly and shortening planning and construction procedures. Instead of more subsidies that inflate the cost of housing, increasing the supply of land and the speed of construction will bring prices down.

The self-employed fuel the nation's economic growth. Zehut wants to dramatically ease their burden — lower taxes, fewer forms, less regulation — to make it easy to open and run a business in Israel.

Israel's tax burden is too high and hurts the middle class and young people the most. Zehut supports broad tax cuts, based on the belief that money in the hands of the citizen works far better than money in the hands of a bureaucrat.

Victory — not "managing rounds." Instead of a reactive policy that only invites the next round of violence, Zehut insists that Israel must strive for clear decisive victory and genuine deterrence, rooted in full Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel.

Zehut advocates full Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel as a core principle — not as a bargaining chip. Israel's identity and security depend on the nation's clear ownership of its land.

Zehut supports expanding the right of law-abiding citizens to carry weapons for self-defense. A responsible armed citizenry is a cornerstone of personal security, especially in times of danger.

Soldiers and reservists deserve full recognition and rights for the burden they bear. Zehut will fight to remove the bureaucratic injustice they face after their service and ensure they receive the respect and support they truly deserve.

Our goal is gradual weaning and independence. True friendship exists between equals. Dependence is not an alliance — it is submission of one party to the dictates of the other.

We want to return the power the government has appropriated to the citizen to whom it rightfully belongs. Zehut supports a true separation of powers, a constitution, and decentralization — so that the government serves the people and not the other way around.

Over-centralization and suffocating bureaucracy prevent anything's getting done. The solution is to decentralize, strengthen local government, and make the system accountable and transparent to the citizen.

Zehut supports a constitution that protects individual liberty and defines clear limits to government power, along with a true separation of powers that prevents any single body from becoming too powerful.

It means that the citizen is the true sovereign, not the bureaucracy. Through decentralization, transparency, and accountability, the state becomes the servant of its citizens — not their master.

Right now, Israeli democracy has been hijacked by an unelected judicial system that repeatedly overrides the will of the people. We will return power to the people's elected representatives, and restore the judicial system to its proper role — judging according to the law, not running the country.

Freedom of choice. Zehut believes parents — not the Ministry of Education — should choose the education their children receive. We will break the government monopoly and fund the student, not the system.

It means that the government funds allocated for each child’s education follow that child to the school their parents choose – instead of being locked into a single system. This creates competition between schools which improves the quality of education for everyone.

Because monopolies reduce quality and restrict freedom. When parents can choose, schools compete to provide a better education — and the child, not the system, comes first.

Real authority: the right to choose their children’s educational path, values, and framework – backed by public funding that respects their choice.

It is a direct expression of our principles of liberty and identity — the citizen is responsible for his own life and for his children's education, while the state enables this choice rather than imposing its will.

The rules will be clear: anyone who accepts Israel as a Jewish and sovereign state will live here with dignity, equality before the law, and security. There will be one law for everyone – and it will actually be enforced.

Returning the country to the people is not a religious program. Our Jewish identity belongs to us all: secular, religious, and traditional alike. This isn’t religious coercion — this is identity-based freedom. Everyone finds their own place through free choice.

The world respects strength, not weakness. Every time we tried to curry favor with the nations of the world, we were hit with boycotts, terrorism, and antisemitism. Every time we projected strength, we earned recognition and appreciation. Israel will be a model for other nations, not an apologetic one.
