Sharren Haskel is the founder of the Israel First party and a former deputy Foreign Minister.
And let me make one more point clear, There are dozens of states in the US who have passed the BDS law. If British banks boycott and divert from Israel, they Might not be able to get government contract and state contract in the US . That might Seriously harm British companies in the US .
OH WOW. it was never just “settlements.” It was Israel all along. Labour’s new measures are a boycott dressed up as “targeted sanctions.” I call on the Prime Minister to relocate Israel’s strategic industries to a genuine allied country, until this Labour government remembers who its actual allies are.
Happy Nabi Sablān holiday to our Druze brothers and sisters; I wish you a holiday of faith, unity, health, and good tidings. May your ziyara be accepted.
Translated from HebrewWhile an election campaign is taking place in Israel, I continue to fight for the name and status of the State of Israel. In an interview with British GB News last night, I addressed the sanctions Britain is imposing on Israeli activity in Judea and Samaria, and the hypocrisy I see in this policy. “European countries that are now imposing sanctions on Israel invested millions of dollars and millions of euros in building illegal settlements on Israeli land for Palestinians, in order to illegally create Palestinian territorial contiguity. And then they are surprised that tensions are rising? They are surprised that there are more conflicts and problems? It is absurd! They are creating a reality here in Israel in which they took an active part in a territorial conflict, and this is hypocrisy. It is shocking.”
Translated from HebrewThe fact that the British Foreign Secretary, while announcing sanctions against Israel, casually added that Britain was also imposing sanctions on Iran is deeply offensive. It creates a hideous moral equivalence between Israel, a vibrant democracy that respects human rights, the rule of law and the lives of its citizens, and Iran, one of the world’s most murderous terrorist regimes, which brutally represses its own people, executes dissidents, sponsors terrorism across the globe and openly seeks Israel’s destruction. Britain may disagree with Israeli policy, but placing Israel and the Iranian regime in the same breath is not diplomacy. It is a disgraceful distortion of reality and an insult to every Israeli fighting on the front line against the very terrorism Iran finances
The State of Israel cannot continue conducting itself as though nothing has changed. Over the past three years, we have learned who truly stands by us in wartime, and who lectures us, imposes sanctions on us, and tries to harm us economically. Therefore, Israel must also reconsider its economic policy. Israeli industries, especially strategic and defense industries, should receive incentives to bring their operations back home, Made in Israel, or transfer operations to friendly countries that stood by Israel in its darkest hour. Britain needs to understand: A policy against Israel also comes with a price. We are not asking anyone for favors. We demand reciprocity. Whoever stands by Israel, Israel will stand by them. Whoever boycotts Israelis should not expect the Israeli economy to continue operating with them as usual. It is time for a foreign and economic policy that puts one thing first: Israel first.
Translated from HebrewToday we submitted our candidate list and officially received the party certificate for “Israel First.” It is no longer just an idea; it is happening. Good people, clear values, and a lot of faith in the path. From here, we move forward with all our strength. Israel First.
Translated from HebrewThis is a moment that moves me especially. Wael Mugrabi, head of the Ein Qiniyye Local Council, is joining Israel First and will run with us in fourth place on the list. Jews and Druze who fight together, serve together, and now also choose to lead the State of Israel together. This is not merely a political partnership. It is a statement we believe in with all our hearts: In this country, we are Israelis first and foremost. And that is exactly Israel First.
Translated from HebrewIn a political world forcibly divided into two camps—the camp in which Bibi is sacred and the camp in which Bibi is a criminal—we have completely lost our sanity. Because while everyone screams “Only Bibi” or “Anyone but Bibi,” security can be sold off. The economy can be brought down. Education can be destroyed. The healthcare system can be crushed. And more than a million Israelis dealing with post-traumatic stress can be abandoned. And everything is pushed aside for one question: Bibi, yes or no? It is clear to me why they are trying to erase us. It is clear to me why they are trying to discourage the public and convince you that there is no alternative and that no one is willing to join forces. Because politicians profit from this division. Because campaigners are already preparing the poison, the hatred, and the scare tactics to drag us back into these two blind blocs. And the country? Let it continue to fall apart. So I have news for them: I am now on my way to the Knesset to submit the Israel First slate. And we are not giving in to them. We will prove that there is a huge public in Israel that is tired of choosing between two camps and wants to choose its country. A public that wants to join forces. A public that wants security, an economy, education, and healthcare. A public that wants a right wing that is not afraid to govern and is not held hostage by the Haredi parties. We will not let them continue poisoning us on their way to the prime minister’s chair. We are coming to fight for something much more important than their chair. We are coming to put Israel first.
Translated from HebrewAlmost every day, a soldier commits suicide as a result of post-traumatic stress disorder. What needs to happen for you to take this seriously?
Translated from HebrewI am sending wishes for a speedy recovery and complete healing to the wounded person, and I stand with the security forces operating in the field in pursuit of the terrorist. Once again we see how dangerous Palestinian terrorism is and that we must not take our foot off the gas. Anyone who tries to harm Israeli citizens should know: we will pursue him, those who sent him, and anyone who gives him backing. The security of Israeli citizens must come before everything else, in Judea and Samaria and everywhere in our country.
Translated from HebrewToday in the Knesset we completed the registration of the “Israel First” party. This is the moment when the vision turns into real political power. We are here to return Israel to the center: security, economy, Zionism, national responsibility, and equality in sharing the burden. No more politics of survival. Israel First politics. We continue forward. Until the end.
Translated from HebrewFemale leadership fighting with all its might for the citizens of the State of Israel, for the brave male and female IDF soldiers, for those affected by post-traumatic stress, as a female Border Police officer and combat soldier, I know the problems up close, and Israel first, it will go all the way and win. #i24news
Translated from HebrewFrom the market in Jerusalem, straight on time to the i24 studios at Jaffa Port, we continue onward with all our strength to spread the light and the desired change, women's leadership in Israeli politics, called for and blessed
Translated from HebrewYou hear the voices, you feel the wonderful people of Israel who want to see and strengthen female leadership in Israeli politics
Translated from HebrewThe Green Leaf Party joins the Israel First Party. At the central launch event of Israel First, held this evening in Tel Aviv, Israel First chair MK Sharren Haskel and Green Leaf chair Nir Yupetro announced a unity of forces and a joint run in the upcoming Knesset elections. The move is intended to create a new and fresh political force and to connect Israel First’s security and economic outlook with Green Leaf’s years-long struggle for individual liberty, legalization, and the rights of medical-cannabis patients. At the heart of the partnership is also the need to provide a response to the hundreds of thousands of people suffering from post-traumatic stress after three years of war, including soldiers and civilians dealing with physical and psychological injuries. As part of the joint run, the list will work to advance cannabis legalization, deep reform in the field of medical cannabis, the removal of obstacles and bureaucracy for patients, and the promotion of research and innovative treatments in post-traumatic stress and mental health. MK Sharren Haskel, chair of Israel First: “This is a natural connection and a closing of the circle for me. For years I fought in the Knesset for legalization, individual liberty, and an end to the unnecessary persecution of citizens. Green Leaf led this struggle long before the political system was ready to listen. After three years of war, when thousands of soldiers and civilians are coping with physical and psychological injuries, it is time for the State of Israel to stop creating difficulties and start helping. Today we are bringing together the Zionist and liberal right with the young, free, anti-establishment force of Green Leaf. We are coming to break bureaucracy, expand individual liberty, and return the state to working for its citizens. Those who serve, work, fight, and carry the state on their backs should be first in the order of priorities. Israel First.” Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Roi Danino: “After three years of war, our responsibility is first and foremost toward those who fought and were injured in body and spirit. It is time to remove obstacles and give them the response they deserve.” Nir Yupetro, chair of Green Leaf: “For years we fought for patients whom the system abandoned and for citizens whom the state turned into criminals because of outdated policy. I paid a heavy personal price for this struggle, but I never stopped believing that change is possible. The partnership with Sharren and Israel First gives us an opportunity to turn this struggle from protest into policy. We are not asking the system for more favors; we are entering in order to change it.”
Translated from HebrewThe State of Israel deserves unifying right-wing female leadership, without tricks and without shticks
Translated from HebrewDear Shai Goldstein, the reservists who served in the field, went out on October 7 and were wounded defending the state, are an inseparable part of the State of Israel’s leadership reserve. Israel First is proud to represent the voice of those who served three years under fire, received orders from above – even from people who never served a single day in the field – and continued to bear responsibility even when it cost them physically and mentally. This is exactly what I fought for in the conscription law: respect for those who actually bear it, and the understanding that true leadership is measured in the field, not in headlines.
Translated from HebrewWe are preparing for the day of submitting the lists. Big surprises are still ahead of us.
Translated from HebrewToday, as thousands of children begin a new school year, Haymanot Kasao is still not home. More than 900 days have passed since she disappeared, and her seat at school remains empty. Today I am raising a red balloon for Haymanot, hoping that this balloon will remind us all that we have not forgotten her and will continue to fight until she returns home.
Translated from HebrewLieutenant Colonel (res.) Tomer Brook joined the “Israel First” party. Welcome, Tomer! “For the same reasons that Tomer fought in Gaza and was seriously wounded, he is now entering the political battlefield to save the future of his children. A father of seven, entrepreneur, CEO, high-tech professional, fighter and Lieutenant Colonel (res.), who was seriously wounded in Gaza by a sniper in combat. Tomer brings with him years of experience managing people, organizations and crises, making decisions under heavy responsibility and leading complex systems. Even after paying a heavy personal price in the war, he chose to continue serving, acting and making an impact. Tomer, your joining Israel First brings exactly the kind of leadership we need in public service: responsibility, professionalism, values, experience and the ability to get things done. Fewer slogans and directives. More people who know how to take responsibility and work for the country. Tomer, we are proud and happy that you are with us. Welcome to the camp that puts “Israel First” first, and good luck on the shared journey!”
Translated from Hebrew"A woman, a mother, a Border Policewoman, the only female combat soldier in the Knesset—they are afraid" The people of Israel deserve to see a woman at the head of a right-wing party, values that must not be compromised
Translated from HebrewAlso this week there will be all kinds of mergers. There are discussions, and they are talking with us all the time, because unity within the right is important to us. I sit around the tables and try to formulate solutions for many good people on the right who are interested in running. “Israel First” will pass the electoral threshold, and it will run until the end”. From this morning’s interview on Channel 14.
Translated from Hebrew״Israel First is fighting and fighting until the end. More and more people are joining us. There is a large constituency on the right that is disappointed by what happened with the conscription law. We will not sit with anti-Zionist parties—not with the Haredim and not with the Arabs. We demand a conscription law״. From a studio interview with Avri and Sharky. #חוקהגיוס #ישראלתחילה #ישראל
Translated from Hebrew“There are two small parties with which we are in advanced talks, and I hope that next week we will be able to form a union with the two parties, in order to gain greater strength and create the momentum of these unions.” From an interview on the Knesset Channel.
