Governance — Return the State to the People!
The government is too big, too strong, and too indifferent to your concerns. Zehut wants to decentralize the power — and return it to you.
Why does dealing with the state take forever? Why does it always feel like no one's responsible and nothing really changes? The answer is centralization. When all the power is concentrated in a giant bureaucracy, the citizen is turned into a dependent of the state, and the system ends up serving only itself.
Zehut offers a real revolution: genuine separation of powers, a constitution that protects individual freedom and sets clear limits on government authority, and real decentralization that brings decision making closer to the people who are affected. Stronger local government, transparency, and real accountability — so it's always clear who is responsible and who you can turn to.
"Returning the Country to the People" is not just a slogan. It is a complete governing philosophy: the citizen is the sovereign, and the state is the servant — not the other way around.
When power returns to us, responsibility is restored too. And that's exactly the point.
What We Will Do
- Restore actual governance — security and law enforcement — to the Negev, the Galilee, and the mixed cities.
- Implement a genuine separation of powers, a constitution, and decentralization — putting an end to centralized government control.
- Transfer land ownership to the citizens.
Questions and Answers on Governance
What does Zehut want to fix in how Israel is governed?
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.
Why does the government seem unable to get things done, and what's the solution?
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.
What is Zehut's position on a constitution and the separation of powers?
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.
What does "Returning the Country to the People" really mean?
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.
Won't this harm democracy?
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.
