The party led by Yoaz Hendel and Professor Yaron Zeilikha, focused on reservists and economic issues, did not pass the electoral threshold in the latest Knesset election polls. Despite hopes that a high voter turnout would help the party enter the Knesset, exit polls from Channels 12 and 13 indicated it would remain outside the parliament.
In response to the poll results, Hendel stated his intention to continue the political struggle, even if Israel faces another election cycle. He emphasized the need for a leadership that serves all its citizens and pledged to respect the final results, even after all votes, including those from soldiers, are counted. Hendel called for the establishment of a "Zionist government" and vowed to continue working towards this goal, stating, "We must have a Zionist government until we all understand there is no other choice. Then we will insist on dealing with the main issues."
Hendel addressed his supporters, promising that the party would fight fiercely and not break, as they are "destined for a long road" and will "fight for the country because we have no other land."
He also commented on Ofer Winter, chairman of the Am Israel party, whose party also failed to pass the threshold according to the polls. Hendel noted that Winter "chose to be part of the bloc of Netanyahu and the ultra-Orthodox" and acknowledged Winter's "clean heart" and "knife between the teeth" approach.
Hendel expressed hope that his party would emerge stronger and more organized if another election occurs. He thanked his campaign partners, including Professor Yaron Zeilikha for his fight against the high cost of living and Einat Wilf for her significant efforts.
