If so, Aryeh, resign from your position in the Political-Security Cabinet. Whoever speaks contemptuously toward the public that serves is not worthy of sending our children to the battlefield. It is that simple.
Translated from HebrewWhat are we talking about when we talk about the 80% of Israelis who agree on 80%?
Translated from HebrewAt the opening of the ה׳תשפ״ז school year, I want to wish Israel’s students in general, and those entering first grade in particular, success. For those who did not know, I am an educator by training, and every year on September 1 I too feel that same excitement of new beginnings that accompanies all the students and teachers. I also have a warm place in my heart for the young learners of the letters—I only had the privilege of learning Hebrew at age 20, and amid constant danger to my life, and here in the Land of Israel, Israel’s children learn in peace and security. May you excel in your studies, make friends for life, and grow to become the best version of yourselves! A fruitful and successful school year
Translated from HebrewWhat else remains to be done after I managed to prevent the draft-dodging law, what are the chances of unifications, and what do I think about the polls being published now? Watch my interview with Rafi Reshef on Channel 12 today
Translated from HebrewA narrow government caters to the demands of its petty coalition partners. A broad Zionist government could work to advance right-wing values through consensus and without political extortion
Translated from HebrewThe weekly Torah portion teaches us not to take the Land of Israel for granted. Shabbat shalom!
Translated from HebrewThe pioneering settlers in Judea and Samaria are the future of Zionism and the security guarantee of the State of Israel. As chair of the Land of Israel Caucus in the Knesset for two decades, I will continue to act in every way to ensure that a Palestinian state will never be established. But as I told the attendees last night at the “Binyamin Breaking Ground” conference, to ensure the future of the settlement enterprise and the security of the state, we must make a change. We cannot continue to rely on narrow, extortionate governments that divide the people and weaken us from within. The time for unity has come. Only a broad Zionist government will expand the settlements, implement right-wing policies, and lead equal conscription.
Translated from HebrewWhat will right-wing voters who want real conscription do?
Translated from HebrewReservists home? Over the past four years, preserving the interests of the Haredi parties was more important to the Religious Zionism party than taking care of reservists.
Translated from HebrewI was happy to meet you yesterday in Netanya. Shabbat shalom!
Translated from HebrewAt a house meeting yesterday, I spoke a little about the behind-the-scenes workings of the conscription law, how different the Haredi political establishment is from the Haredi street, and why that is precisely the reason we in the Unity Party do not make a living off hatred and intend to work toward forming a broad national government.
Translated from HebrewAt long last, we are returning home to Ganim in northern Samaria! After I led the historic law to repeal the disengagement in northern Samaria during the last term, today we went onto the land together with council head Yossi Dagan to inaugurate the new community of Ganim. As long as 21 years ago, I warned of the immense danger involved in expelling Jews from their homes. Today everyone understands that this terrible folly brought an unforgettable disaster upon us. The pioneers of settlement in Judea and Samaria are Israel’s security guarantee. As chair of the Land of Israel Caucus in the Knesset for many long years, I pledge to do everything to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state. Homesh, Sa-Nur, Ganim and Kadim are only the beginning
Translated from HebrewOren, welcome to the Unity Team! Oren Samadja has entered deeply into the heart of every Israeli. As an Olympic medalist who brought immense honor to the country and as a winning coach who led generations of athletes to many achievements, he symbolizes above all determined, Zionist leadership filled with love of Israel. Since the fall of his heroic son, Staff Sergeant (res.) Omer Samadja, of blessed memory, Oren has become a symbol of the victory of the spirit. Precisely from within the pain, he chose to rise, take responsibility, and act to bring together the parts of the people. I am sure that the winning character and leadership that have guided him throughout his life will help us mend the rifts and establish a broad Zionist government. Oren, we are proud and happy that you are with us. Soon, we will bring unity to Israel.
