Far-right Kahanist-lineage party. Runs on governance: death penalty for terrorists, loosened open-fire rules, expanded gun licensing and Jewish sovereignty everywhere.

The list, who comes with them

How this list is picked. Ben-Gvir sets the list himself; there is no primary. It runs under two registrations, Otzma Yehudit's own and a shelf party that earns the list a second unit of party funding and nothing else, so the site does not show it as a faction.
