About Miluimnikim–Economic ahead of the 2026 election, including the candidate list, the component parties' platforms, poll standing and sources.
Poll standing
How is a party's poll standing determined?
This status is calculated automatically from the latest polls shown on this site — one per outlet we track. We check how many of them report the party crossing the electoral threshold (rather than assuming this from the seat count alone), and also show the range and average of its projected seats in those same polls. Polls reflect a snapshot at the time they were published and are not a forecast of the election result.

Crosses the threshold in 3 out of 5 recent polls
What is the electoral threshold?
The electoral threshold is the minimum share of the vote a list needs in order to take part in the allocation of Knesset seats. In Knesset elections the threshold is 3.25% of valid votes. A list that does not pass the threshold does not take part in the seat allocation.

How many votes are needed for one seat?
There is no fixed number of votes per seat. The number of votes needed changes in every election, depending on the number of valid votes and on which parties pass the electoral threshold. The final allocation of seats is made using the Bader–Ofer method.

Recruitment and service
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
Draft exemptions would be granted only on equal criteria and capped at 2,000 yeshiva students at most, with personal sanctions and ending benefits for evaders.
SourceThe Reservists
Mandatory service for every citizen at 18 — military or civilian — with no distinction between secular, religious, Jewish, and Arab citizens, alongside benefits for those who serve and civic/political sanctions for those who don't, including denying the right to vote and to run for office.
SourceSecurity and foreign policy
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
Opposing a Palestinian state and any withdrawal, strengthening settlement, conditioning any Gaza arrangement on ending incitement education, and ending West Bank Palestinian laborers' entry permits to work in Israel; the page notes that defense spending fell from 7% to 5% of GDP, but sets no numeric target.
SourceThe Reservists
An offense-oriented security doctrine built on initiative and deterrence: full control of the Gaza Strip's perimeter and the Philadelphi corridor, establishing a voluntary-emigration authority for Gaza residents who want it, a tough line against Hezbollah and Iran, and strengthening settlement in Judea and Samaria and border areas.
SourceCrime and Personal Security
The Reservists
Wider powers for the authorities against crime and terror, local police forces and a Shin Bet brigade against Arab-sector crime, tougher penalties and a more efficient trial process, and a Texas doctrine of self-defense.
SourceEconomy and cost of living
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
A broad tax reform (cutting VAT and income/corporate tax), breaking up monopolies and opening imports and banking to competition, and immediate state-budget streamlining — funded by ending tax breaks for large corporations.
SourceThe Reservists
A free, competitive economy: a significant corporate-tax cut for tech companies in the periphery, fighting monopolies, and a commitment to measurable annual economic-reform targets.
SourceReligion and state
The Reservists
A position focused specifically on equal service burden rather than the broader religion-and-state agenda: an equal service duty for every citizen regardless of religion, and conditioning public rights and benefits on serving.
SourceJudiciary and governance
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
A position presented by the party chair at the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee on 31.1.2023 and published on the party's website: broad agreement on a reform of the existing system, opposition to a proposal under which the government takes over appointing judges, an override clause with a larger majority, and ministry legal advisers as positions of trust.
SourceThe Reservists
Governance and judicial reforms meant to shorten proceedings and increase government accountability, alongside establishing an external, independent review mechanism over the judiciary and fixing the checks and balances between branches of government.
SourceEducation
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
Shrinking classes to 18 students and reducing teaching hours, giving school principals autonomy, and introducing mandatory financial education from elementary school.
SourceThe Reservists
A narrow position, mostly tied to service conditions: education funding conditioned on participation in service, and strengthening education in border communities — the platform doesn't present a comprehensive education program (teacher pay, class size, higher education).
SourceHealth
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
Raising national health spending to 8% of GDP, a significant addition of physician and nursing positions, and building three new hospitals in the periphery.
SourceThe Reservists
The "Returning from Battle" plan for post-traumatic stress (PTSD) among fighters: a dedicated fund with an annual budget of about NIS 1 billion, outside the budget base and not subject to cuts, and eight plan items.
SourceHousing
The Economic Party
Gradually lowering housing prices from about 170 average salaries per apartment to about 120, through growth policy that diverts investors from the housing market into alternative investments.
SourceTransportation and infrastructure
The Economic Party
Establishing a transportation cabinet led by the finance minister to centralize planning, reforming the Transportation Ministry, and strengthening public transit in the periphery.
SourceSociety and welfare
The Economic Party
Increasing old-age and disability benefits, transferring public-housing apartments to residents' ownership, and a national scholarship fund for higher education for periphery youth.
SourceGender Equality & Women's Rights
The Economic Party
A dedicated, comprehensive policy page: harsher sentencing for femicide and funding for domestic-violence protection, a systemic fight against sexual violence (dedicated courts, a special police unit) and trafficking in women, legislation for full employment equality (hiring, promotion, and pay), opposing the exclusion of women and gender segregation in public space, fixing inequality in family law and helping women denied a religious divorce ("agunot"), adequate representation for women in state institutions, and gender-equality education starting in elementary school.
SourceRegional Development & Periphery
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
"על מנת להגדיל את שיעור הלומדים הייטק בפריפריה נפעל להגברת החשיפה והעיסוק של בני נוער בפריפריה במדע, בטכנולוגיה וביזמות טכנולוגית."

Making the Negev, the Galilee and the eastern border a national goal for settlement, with advanced infrastructure on the borders and land for reservists in areas of national priority.
SourceAliyah & Integration
The Economic Party
The party sees aliyah as a first-order Zionist value, and the absorption of new immigrants as a moral duty and an economic opportunity: alongside dealing with the cost of living, funding absorption centers, training, fast licensing of professions, empowering the periphery and increasing the absorption basket.
SourceAgriculture & Food Security
2 platforms publishedThe Economic Party
Abolishing all tariffs and import quotas on food and agricultural products to lower the cost of living, alongside protecting local food producers from monopolies, a direct subsidy for farmers on the confrontation lines and in the periphery, country-of-origin labeling and an agrarian reform.

Support for agriculture out of Zionism, security and settlement – to hold the land and for food security – alongside a civilian model for guarding agricultural land ("the New Hashomer") and promoting efficiency, investment and research.
