He was a key witness, according to state comptroller's office, who testified against Ehud Olmert in his role of finance minister in a case of alleged bribery during the sale of the Bank Leumi's controlling shares.[1] Zelekha said that the State of Israel is more corrupt than it appears.[2]
In 2011, Zelekha was chosen to head a committee for examining centralization in the private vehicle market in Israel.[3]
In December 2020, Zelekha announced that he formed the New Economical Party based on an economic vision and will run as a candidate in the March 2021 national election in Israel.[4]
