The Yisrael Beiteinu party, led by Avigdor Lieberman, has presented its platform addressing four key civil issues in Israel. The party proposes measures to combat the high cost of living by dismantling monopolies and production councils, abolishing exclusive importer status, encouraging international retail chains to enter Israel, and promoting investment in long-term rental projects.
In education, Yisrael Beiteinu aims to implement core curriculum studies in all educational institutions. They also plan to revise the teacher compensation model to reflect teaching quality and offer individual contracts to outstanding educators.
Regarding the enlistment of the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) population, the party advocates for a conscription law that would require all Israeli citizens, regardless of religion, to serve in the military or perform civilian service. The army would determine the type of service, and draft dodgers would face personal and financial sanctions, including the loss of municipal tax discounts, driver's licenses, and eligibility for state employment.
Concerning the justice system, Yisrael Beiteinu proposes establishing a constitution, to be put to a national referendum, based on a framework developed by professors Daniel Friedmann and Reichman, and former minister Moshe Nissim. This constitution would define the checks and balances between governmental branches and would limit the prime minister's term to two consecutive terms.
