Platform
The party's five declared policy areas, and the two that came onto the list with Aleh Yarok. Where a plank restates a published party position it is the party's; where it is put in our own English words, the words are ours.
Israel Techila was founded over this. The law freezing the arrest and prosecution of draft evaders shifted the cost of a political arrangement onto the people already serving — conscripts, career soldiers and reservists who have given hundreds of days to this war. The obligation to serve belongs to citizens, and exemptions negotiated by sector are a tax on everyone who shows up.
A strong and independent defence posture, and a defence establishment answerable to elected government rather than to coalition arithmetic. Security decisions should survive a change of government because they were right, not because nobody could afford to reopen them.
The party's central strategic claim: use its seats to make a broad Zionist coalition possible and reduce the leverage that small sectoral parties hold over every government Israel forms. It has explicitly declined to align permanently with either bloc, and it is not running for the prime ministership.
The cost of living in Israel is a policy outcome, not a fact of nature. Import barriers, licensing regimes and concentrated markets exist because they are defended. Cut the regulation that protects incumbents, and repair the specific damage done to reservists and small-business owners whose businesses were called up along with them.
A school system built around academic excellence and a core curriculum that every state-funded pupil actually receives — including mathematics, English and science — because a child's future employment should not depend on which stream they were born into.
Expand the space in which the state has no business: personal status, private conduct, freedom of conscience. The party leader has spent her Knesset career on this side of these arguments, including on LGBT rights and on cannabis legalisation, and the position does not change because the coalition maths is inconvenient.
Aleh Yarok's argument, now on a list that can carry it: legalise and regulate cannabis, stop prosecuting patients and their suppliers, and build the clinical research capacity for psychedelic-assisted treatment of post-traumatic stress in a country that is producing traumatised people faster than it is treating them. This has been on the Israeli ballot since 1999 and has never had a majority behind it. It is a health policy that has been left to the police.
