Yaron Zelekha, running on the "Reservists and Economics" electoral slate, has pledged significant investments in health, education, transportation, and welfare, while also committing to maintaining or increasing the defense budget. Concurrently, he promises tax reductions for businesses and employees, along with a dramatic decrease in VAT. However, Zelekha has not provided a clear economic model to explain how these ambitious promises will be met.
Some polls suggest that the "Reservists and Economics" party, led by Yoaz Hendel and Professor Yaron Zelekha, may surpass the electoral threshold. Political circles speculate that if the party does enter the Knesset, it could be easily fragmented in exchange for government positions. To highlight this, those seeking the party's economic platform are directed to the website of "The Economic Party," with which Zelekha ran in the last two election cycles without crossing the threshold.
