Led by Elkana Federman · not in the polls · running for responsibility after 7 October

Updated

Elkana Federman's party, founded on 13 August 2026 and registered on 31 August. Federman grew up in Hebron, the son of the Kach activist Noam Federman, and was a security officer at the Nova festival on 7 October 2023, where he was shot in the pelvis facing, he says, fifteen terrorists with six bullets in his pistol, and lost more than twenty-five friends. The party's word is responsibility: a state that cannot learn from its failures, he says, cannot defend its future. It speaks for young fighters and reservists, backs a firm security policy, settlement and sovereignty, and wants the lessons of 7 October drawn. Lotem Nagar, a community security coordinator from the Gaza envelope who fought that day, is second and the activist Shira Cohen third. Federman says he is running independently but would join any right-wing party that would combine forces. Fifteen names were filed on 8 September. Never polled.

The list, who comes with them

How this list is picked. Federman assembles the list; no selection process is described. It runs on its own registration, not the National Union's old Tekuma.

Rank on the slip decides who enters the Knesset. No pollster asks about this list, so there is no seat projection to set that rank against.
