Yisrael Beiteinu

Yisrael Beiteinu’s official guidelines for the next government state that its first decision will be to establish a state commission of inquiry into 7 October. This is a position of the party as a whole, not merely a statement by its leader.

Lieberman supports far-reaching reform, a constitutional court, and an override mechanism requiring a majority of 70, but conditions major changes on broad consensus; the current official campaign calls for a constitution that would regulate the institutional balance. The position would somewhat limit the High Court of Justice’s final say over legislation, but does not support a broad, unilateral reduction of review over government decisions.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s current platform expressly includes limiting a prime minister to two terms.

Avigdor Lieberman’s criticism of the scale of coalition funds and the political character of the 2026 budget does not commit to the precise mechanism in the statement: cancelling every unequal allocation and moving it into the regular budget framework. The source is therefore retained as context, but this cell is excluded from the calculation.

All six Yisrael Beiteinu members voted against the law. This is a current, unanimous vote on the precise mechanism.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s platform calls for transferring responsibility in Gaza to an agreed international body, alongside Israeli freedom of action. This directly supports an external framework for post-Hamas administration.

Yisrael Beiteinu calls for separation and an end to Israeli responsibility, including closing the crossings, while also demanding complete military freedom of action. It supports the freedom-of-action component of the statement but rejects continuing control of Gaza’s borders, so its position here is neutral.

Lieberman pledged that Yisrael Beiteinu would oppose any attempt to establish a Palestinian state, whether by agreement or unilaterally. The wording expressly covers a negotiated diplomatic initiative as well, and therefore rejects the statement.

Yisrael Beiteinu was the only opposition party to say that it would vote for a law applying Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). This is a direct, current commitment that is broader than the wording of the statement.

On Yisrael Beiteinu’s official website, MK Brig. Gen. (res.) Sharon Nir stated that women should serve in every role in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) according to their skills and abilities. The wording is nearly identical to the statement.

At a meeting of his parliamentary group, Avigdor Lieberman said that he opposed Jewish settlement in Gaza and called for focusing on rebuilding the Gaza border communities and the Galilee. This is a direct position by the party chair in a parliamentary-group setting.

Yisrael Beiteinu was among the initiators of the legislation, and members of its parliamentary group voted for it at third reading. Legislative sponsorship and a final vote constitute particularly strong evidence.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s platform requires every citizen at age 18 to perform military or civilian service, exactly as the statement proposes.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s platform specifies personal and financial sanctions for people who do not serve, without exempting yeshiva students.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s platform provides for civil marriage and divorce in Israel alongside the option of a religious route.

All six Yisrael Beiteinu members voted against the law at third reading.

Lieberman made public transport on Shabbat an election objective, and the official position assigns decision-making authority on the issue to local authorities.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s platform expressly states that institutions that do not teach the core curriculum will not receive public funding.

MK Hamad Amar supported adding equality to the Basic Law in the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, and the current platform calls for a constitution that enshrines rights and equality. The precise source on this issue is old.

Yisrael Beiteinu is committed to a Zionist coalition only, and Lieberman rules out reliance on Arab parties even under other arrangements.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s current economic plan does not establish a position on taxing high-income earners specifically to expand social services.

Yisrael Beiteinu supported price controls on whole-grain bread, but its ministers also acted to remove price controls from butter and favoured competition. The record shows selective use of the tool, rather than blanket support for or opposition to expanding the basket.

Yisrael Beiteinu’s economic platform expressly supports reducing tariffs on fruit and vegetable imports and eliminating the tariff on imported eggs as part of opening the sectors to competition.

Lieberman advanced an eligibility test applying to both parents, and all four Yisrael Beiteinu members who voted in 2026 opposed a mother-only test.

The two Yisrael Beiteinu members who participated in the vote opposed the order raising the exemption threshold to $130.

As minister of defense, Avigdor Lieberman signed a 60-day administrative detention order against a hilltop youth activist suspected of violent activity against Israelis, Palestinians, and the security forces, after a court had ordered his release. The action is precise but old.

Yisrael Beiteinu was a partner in passing the restrictive Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law and supported categorical restrictions on security and national grounds. No new, precise source was found.

Yisrael Beiteinu pledged to advance a ban on conversion therapy, but the precise source dates from 2021 and was not renewed in a 2026 document.

Lieberman’s official plan defines crime as terrorism and calls for the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), administrative detention, cyber tools, and surveillance to serve as central mechanisms.

The congestion charge was enacted while Lieberman was minister of finance as part of the Economic Arrangements Law, with its revenue earmarked for improving public transport and reducing congestion.
