Overview
- Gilad Erdan announced the formation of a new right‑wing party and positioned himself as a consistent nationalist leader who opposes a Palestinian state.
- He pledged to advance a 'Basic Law: Service' that would require all Israeli citizens to perform either military service or national service.
- Erdan said his party will not join any 'narrow government' and called for forming a broad Zionist coalition to carry the service law.
- Yuli Edelstein attended the launch, giving the new list an immediate tie to senior right‑wing figures and Knesset institutional experience.
- The proposal directly targets unequal service exemptions for ultra‑Orthodox and other communities and could affect IDF manpower and post‑election bargaining over coalition makeup.
