The 'Protest Party', long discussed during the 2023 Israeli judicial reform protests, was officially formed tonight, according to Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13/Army Radio). The party's list of founding members includes prominent activists from the protest movement. Two refuseniks from the Brothers in Arms organization, as well as activists Redman, Zar Katzenstein (known for the Handmaids protest), and Laski (from the Wrapped Detainees headquarters), are among the top figures. The formation follows earlier reports by Amit Segal (N12) at 20:16 Jerusalem, who first broke the news. The party's platform and electoral strategy remain unclear at this stage.
