  2. 02His platform includes increased social spending and tax cuts, but lacks a clear economic model.
  3. 03The "Reservists and the Economists" party is polling above the electoral threshold.
  4. 04Political analysts predict the party could be easily broken up if it enters the Knesset.
  5. 05Zelekha previously ran on the "Economic Party" list without success.

However, Zelekha has not detailed the economic model to support these pledges. The party, co-led by Yoaz Hendel, is polling above the electoral threshold, with speculation about its potential fragmentation if successful.
