Positions for the 2026 election
Noam, represented in the Knesset by Avi Maoz, announced an independent run, established a campaign headquarters, launched an election campaign, and adopted the public name Noam LeYisrael. The profile maintains continuity with the activities of the party and its incumbent MK while giving priority to the most recent statements and actions.
Avi Maoz rejects a commission whose members would be selected by representatives of the judicial system, and therefore opposes the appointment mechanism described in the statement.
Maoz opposes judicial authority to strike down Knesset legislation, including Basic Laws, and supports restoring primacy to the elected legislature.
Avi Maoz explicitly opposed limiting a prime minister’s tenure to two consecutive terms, and in 2023 voted against a proposal that would implement precisely that mechanism. The party statement and the roll-call vote are consistent, and no later position contradicting them was found.
No sufficiently direct public source was found to determine Noam LeYisrael’s position on this statement.
Maoz proposed amending Basic Law: The Government so that the Attorney General’s opinion would not bind the government.
The party opposes handing the administration of Gaza to international actors and demands an alternative governing authority, neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority, within an Israeli security framework.
One of the principles the party requires for ending the war is Israeli security control over the Gaza Strip, alongside its demilitarisation and an alternative civilian administration.
The party rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state and presents Israeli sovereignty as the alternative, and therefore opposes a regional initiative that includes a prospect of such a state.
Maoz advocates applying Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and presents it as the preferred diplomatic solution.
Maoz opposes expanding the integration of women into combat tracks, particularly trials intended to open armored corps roles and additional units to women.
The party includes the renewal of Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip as part of its postwar policy.
Maoz announced that he would oppose the death-penalty bill, for both halakhic and practical reasons, even though it is aimed at terrorists convicted of murder.
The party opposes compelling yeshiva students to enlist and demands an arrangement that protects the world of Torah study, and therefore does not support universal mandatory service with limited exemptions.
The party opposes coercion and sanctions against yeshiva students who do not enlist, and calls for an arrangement agreed with the leadership of the world of Torah study.
Maoz described support for civil marriage as directly harming the state’s Jewish identity.
Avi Maoz, Noam LeYisrael’s sole representative in the Knesset, voted for the law at third reading.
Maoz opposes operating public transport on Shabbat even when it is promoted by local authorities.
Avi Maoz explicitly demanded full funding for institutions that do not teach the Ministry of Education’s core curriculum, and in January 2026 reiterated the principle of equal funding for every student. Noam thereby rejects making even minimum public funding conditional on core-curriculum instruction.
No sufficiently direct public source was found to determine Noam LeYisrael’s position on this statement.
Maoz stated that, for him, a government formed in partnership with an Arab party is impossible, even if there are agreements on specific issues.

Maoz opposed the dairy-sector import reform and preferred to protect domestic agricultural production. The source is direct, but concerns only one sector.
Avi Maoz voted for a proposal stipulating that only the mother’s employment or study status would be considered in the eligibility test. Because the statement rejects a test based solely on the mother, the vote directly opposes the statement.
Avi Maoz voted against raising the VAT exemption threshold for personal imports from $75 to $130. This was a roll-call vote on the precise threshold and mechanism described in the statement, so there is no need to infer a position from a general economic principle.
No sufficiently direct public source was found to determine Noam LeYisrael’s position on this statement.
Avi Maoz voted for legislation that strengthens restrictions on Palestinians’ entry and residence, and therefore opposes easing them through individual assessments instead of a blanket ban.
Maoz opposes a blanket ban on treatments intended to change sexual orientation and supports access to such treatment. He himself disputes the use of the term “conversion therapy”.
