Amcha Yisrael

Wikipedia describes it as right-wing and Zionist. Launched in Jerusalem on 25 August 2026, it holds no Knesset seats. It is a list in the 2026 Knesset election, held on 27 October 2026, for which it submitted its candidate list on 7 September 2026.

History

Amcha Yisrael was launched in Jerusalem on 25 August 2026, ahead of the 2026 Knesset election, and is led by Ofer Winter, a retired IDF brigadier general. Its list includes Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad, journalist Netali Shem-Tov, former Jerusalem deputy mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, reservists and relatives of people killed in the October 2023 attack and the war that followed. In September 2026 it declined a merger offer from the Haredi Public party and submitted its list on 7 September. In October the Reservists and New Economic Party urged it to sign a surplus-vote agreement, and Wikipedia reports that it did not respond.

Positions

Wikipedia places the party on the right, with Zionism and national conservatism as its ideology, and says it presents itself as part of the right-wing camp, seeking a broad right-wing government with "Zionist partners" and described as more inclusive than Otzma Yehudit or the Religious Zionist Party. Winter has said he would recommend only Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister. The party backs "voluntary emigration" from Gaza and conscription of Haredim into the IDF, and its support for a Netanyahu government depends on a Haredi draft law passing before a government forms.
