MK Sharan Haskel, a day after resigning from her previous party, has established a new political party named 'Israel First' (ישראל תחילה). The party was formally announced via N12's Daphna Liel, with Haskel stating that it aims to reshape the current political order. According to Haskel, the party will represent every person who defines themselves as Zionist, believes in a security-oriented, national-liberal right, and refuses to accept backroom deals at the expense of those who serve. The move comes amid a broader realignment of the Israeli political right. In recent weeks, former MK Limor Livnat left the Likud party following Haskel's resignation, and former UN ambassador Gilad Erdan has signaled the possible formation of a new party, as The Zioneer has reported. Polls have indicated that Erdan is the preferred candidate to lead a new right-wing entity. Additionally, other figures such as former IDF general Ofer Winter and former justice minister Ayelet Shaked have been exploring the establishment of a new right-wing party. Haskel's new party distinguishes itself with a explicit platform emphasizing Zionist identity, security, and liberal values, while rejecting political deal-making. The party's electoral prospects remain unclear, as it enters a fragmented field.
