Yair Golan, a politician, expressed his preferences during a "election training" session held at TheMarker's gym. He chose the army over politics and running over weightlifting, and indicated a preference for Tel Aviv over Jerusalem. When asked about economic policy, Golan advocated for a "socialist economy, a welfare state." He also stated that he would not join a government without a conscription law or a term limits law, but found a coalition with Ra'am to be "completely legitimate."
Golan defined his role in the upcoming elections as "being the democratic-liberal backbone of any future government," suggesting his party is building towards leading in the next election cycle. His first economic step, he stated, would be integrating Haredi men into the workforce, declaring, "Enough, this party of living at the expense of the state is over."
He identified "tremendous processes of solidarity" within Israeli society, calling to "rebuild Israel" using this solidarity. Golan did not point to a specific past mistake, stating his focus was on fighting and winning. He committed to voters that he would drastically reduce the number of murders in the Arab community and pass "the most laws protecting democracy," adding that his party would do good for Israel in ways not measurable by numbers.
