The current leadership protected cartels, stifled economic competition, allowed Haredi draft evasion, and did too little to truly end the war. That's no way to run a country
I made aliyah from Montreal in 2009 at the age of 23. On the very day I received my teudat zehut (Israeli identity card), I did something that felt as essential to my Zionism as moving here in the first place: I joined the Likud. I did not join because of blind loyalty to a specific leader or a political machine. I joined because of the values enshrined in the party’s constitution. I believed deeply in the legacy of Ze’ev Jabotinsky and Menachem Begin. I believed in a proud, unapologetic nationalism, the necessity of an iron wall to deter our enemies, and the absolute moral imperative of free markets and individual liberty.
For years, I fought for those principles from within. When I entered the Knesset, I did so with the conviction that Likud was the only political vehicle capable of securing Israel’s future. But over time, and especially in the devastating aftermath of October 7, a painful reality became impossible to ignore. Today, if you genuinely believe in the foundational values of the Likud, you have no choice but to leave the Likud. You have to vote Yisrael Beytenu. The Likud has not merely compromised on its core tenets. It has become the primary obstacle to actualizing true right-wing philosophy in the State of Israel.
