The Israel Resilience Party[5] (Hebrew: חוסן לישראל, Hosen Le'Yisrael) is a political party in Israel founded in December 2018 by Benny Gantz, former IDF General Chief of Staff. The party will run in the 2019 Knesset elections.[6]
History
On 16 February 2015, Benny Gantz completed his term as Chief of the General Staff and entered a three-year legal cooling-off period in which he could not run for the Knesset. This ended on 2 July 2018.[7] Subsequently, in September 2018 it was reported that Gantz planned to enter politics.[8]
On 26 December 2018, the 20th Knesset voted to dissolve itself and hold early elections. A day later, on 27 December, after 109 people signed a list of founders, the party was officially registered with the name Hosen Yisrael.[9]
Party goals
According to the official registration document handed to the Registrar of Parties,[10] The party's goals are:
Continuing to establish and strengthen the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state in light of the Zionist vision as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, while determining and changing the national priorities on the following subjects: education, national infrastructure development, agriculture, law and internal security, welfare policy, and peace and security.
Political spectrum
According to Gantz, he leans right when it comes to security issues, left when it comes to socioeconomic issues, and liberal in his economic goals.[11]
Candidates
Aside from Gantz, no other members of Hosen Yisrael's list for the upcoming election are known at this time, though speculation has included former Yeruham Mayor Michael Biton, former Justice Minister Dan Meridor, and activist Chili Tropper.[12]
Former IDF chief of staff and minister of defense Moshe Ya'alon formed an alliance with the party on 29 January 2019.[13]
