With Israeli elections 18 days away, a project by Regavim aims to clarify the practical platforms of political parties beyond campaign slogans. The initiative seeks to inform voters about what parties intend to do with public trust, focusing on core issues expected to shape Israel's future. Twelve fundamental questions were posed to all parties on topics such as the justice system, governance, Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, the Negev, personal security, settlement, foreign relations, and Israel's international standing.
The same questions were sent to every party in identical wording to facilitate direct comparison of their stances and proposed solutions. The project's guiding principle was to let the parties speak for themselves, with their responses undergoing only linguistic editing for clarity and consistency, without altering their content or core messages. Instances where parties chose not to respond are also noted.
The stated goal is to provide voters with a broad, organized, and transparent picture, prioritizing substantive positions over slogans and interpretations, to help citizens understand the actual issues at stake when they cast their ballots.
