Who they are
Born on Kibbutz HaGoshrim in 1983, third generation to its founders, Zeevi grew up in Metula and served in the Paratroopers. He advised Avi Dichter, Yaakov Peri and Erel Margalit for a decade, then ran JVP's Margalit Startup City Galil in Kiryat Shmona. Called up to the Kfar Giladi standby squad on 7 October, he served there more than a year and co-founded Lobby 1701. He lost the 2025 Upper Galilee council runoff.
Positions and record
The northern border: A buffer zone emptied to the Litani and held by the IDF, not a diplomatic arrangement.
The evacuation: Calls clearing the border communities Hezbollah's only achievement of the war.
The Galilee: Zero VAT and a tax exemption for the border towns, and the Galilee defined in law as strategic settlement.
Netanyahu: Voted for him twice, and now says he lied to Israelis for twenty years and sold the north.
Across the divide: Led protests against the judicial overhaul, then founded Lobby 1701 with a Religious Zionism activist.
