Israeli far-right political party Otzma Yehudit ( ) or Jewish Power is a far-right political party in Israel , which has been referred to as Kahanist and anti-Arab . It was originally formed as Otzma LeYisrael ( ; lit., Strength for Israel ), which was established on 13 November 2012 by MKs Aryeh Eldad and Michael Ben-Ari , who split from the National Union to form a new party ahead of the 2013 elections . Otzma Yehudit is the ideological descendant of the outlawed Kach party. The party advocates for the deportation of those who they consider to be the "enemies of Israel", and leader Itamar Ben-Gvir was associated with the original Kach movement, though he now disagrees with the stance of deporting all Arabs from Israel. Otzma ran independently in the 2013 elections, and as part of a list with ultra-Orthodox party Yachad in 2015. Though in both elections they did not manage to pass the electoral threshold, the Yachad list was around 10,000 votes short of the threshold. Ahead of the first 2019 election, the party ran with the Jewish Home as part of the Union of Right-Wing Parties , after Naftali Bennett abandoned the Jewish Home to form the New Right party. While the Union of Right-Wing Parties passed the threshold, winning 5 seats, Otzma only held the 7th spot on the list, as their other representative Michael Ben-Ari was banned for incitement. After Ben-Ari was banned, Itamar Ben-Gvir was appointed leader of the party. The party ran independently in the second 2019 election, winning 1.88% of the vote, though some polls had predicted that the party would pass the threshold. Despite coming to an agreement with the Jewish Home to contest the 2020 Israeli legislative election as the United Jewish Home, Otzma was left to run independently when the Jewish Home , the New Right , and Tkuma re-formed Yamina . In the 2021 election , Otzma ran on a joint list with the Religious Zionist Party and Noam , as part of a deal orchestrated by Netanyahu, that would include the list receiving an extra seat from the Likud list. Following the 2021 election, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the leader of Otzma Yehudit won a seat, with the deal considered to have brought the party into the mainstream of Israeli politics. The party won a further six seats in the 2022 elections . "Rightists protest "illegal construction" in Arab village" . The Times of Israel . The Times of Israel . The Times of Israel .
