The Zehut party, led by Moshe Feiglin, has outlined a series of proposed reforms addressing four key civil issues in Israel: cost of living, housing, education, and the justice system, alongside a proposal for Haredi enlistment.
Regarding the cost of living, Zehut advocates for dismantling price control councils and opening the market to free import. In housing, the party proposes dissolving the Israel Land Authority to expedite planning processes. For education, Zehut suggests maintaining the current budget but transferring its implementation to parents and schools, aiming for excellence and increased teacher salaries.
The party's proposal for Haredi enlistment is encapsulated in the slogan "All the people are an army and all the land is a front." They propose mandatory service for everyone for one month, after which individuals would be released home with weapons, personal equipment, and assigned to regional defense.
In the judicial sphere, Zehut calls for the public election of Supreme Court justices for ten-year terms. They also propose that the Supreme Court (Bagatz) be unable to overturn Knesset laws, abolish the "reasonableness" standard for judicial review, and have the Attorney General appointed by the Prime Minister.
