Last week, we continued our ‘Israel Elections 2026: The Candidates & Their Visions for Israel’s Future’ series (in partnership with Tribe Tel Aviv, Kerem House, & JIC - Jewish International Connection) in Tel Aviv.
MK Oded Forer of Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu faction very articulately expressed his party’s rightwing Westcentric positions. Like many in his party, Forer sees Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Likud as having lost their way, and views Lieberman as the true heir to Z’ev Jabotinsky’s Revisionist Zionist ideological tendency.
The goal of this series is for olim (Jews who’ve ‘ascended’ home to Israel from the exile) to engage with candidates from Israel’s various political parties to learn what they stand for, what issues they see as currently most pressing, how they understand the criticisms against them, & what they envision for Israel’s future.
