Diplomacy and security

The security policy of the State of Israel must protect its citizens and residents in Israel and around the world. According to Jabotinsky's "iron wall", the state must prevent war and terrorist threats by means of political, military, intelligence, and deterrent measures. Peace is a result of strength - security, political and economic. Therefore, security will bring peace, not vice versa.

We believe that at this time, it is not possible to reach an agreed permanent solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Past experience shows that under the current conditions, reckless risks should not be taken as long as the Palestinian side has not demonstrated the will, the commitment and the ability to convene a final and practical agreement.

In the current situation, the Palestinians are divided into two rival governments that seek to overthrow each other by violent means, and both talk about the expulsion of Jews from Tel Aviv. There are no basic conditions for reaching a political solution. Moreover, even assuming that there is a theoretical agreement with the Fatah government in Judea and Samaria, it can not be implemented because the Fatah government depends de facto on the IDF in order to survive the subversion of Hamas and the other factions.

Therefore, in the short and medium term, we support a policy aimed at stabilizing the situation as much as possible, based on shared interests between us and the Palestinian Authority. We will support the development of joint civilian infrastructure and the promotion of policies that will benefit the quality of life of the Palestinian population and enable quiet, stability and economic prosperity that will create better future conditions. At the same time, Israel must consolidate the settlement blocks in Judea and Samaria and continue to build wherever there is a solid Jewish majority and a strategic security interest.In any future arrangement, the aspiration will be for the maximum area with a maximum of Jews and a minimum of Palestinians.

In the long term, we believe that reality will allow for the establishment of an autonomous and demilitarized Palestinian entity that will not have the status of a state with which we will live in peaceful relations and neighborly relations. The Palestinian entity will enjoy full self-rule in civilian areas, with security and political limitations. A future agreement with this entity will have to meet seven key threshold conditions:

• Recognition of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.
• Jerusalem will remain the united capital of the State of Israel.
• Israel's security control over borders and airspace, including Israeli military and intelligence presence in the Jordan Valley.
• The defense of the borders of the state and its citizens will be based on the strength of the IDF, independent of international forces.
• The complete dismantling of the terrorist organizations, and the demilitarization of the Palestinian entity.
• The return of "refugees" to Palestine would not be allowed.
• Declaration of an end to the conflict and an end to the demands.

Free economy

Nativ encourages a free market economy based on private initiative, competition and exploitation of the economy's relative advantage.

We will promote an economic policy that will allow entrepreneurship, growth and competition in the business sector, and equality of opportunity for all Israeli citizens. Thus, the State of Israel will be able to realize the tremendous potential inherent in its human capital.

The bureaucratic burden and the high tax burden in Israel should be reduced. It is inconceivable that half of a worker's salary would be taxed in government and the remaining part would be used for local taxation - in return for low quality government services and disgraceful efficiency. Reducing the tax burden will enable citizens to significantly improve the quality of their life by means of a range of products and services of a private and competitive market and to lead to a general rise in the standard of living and economic growth. In addition, the regulatory requirements and the costly bureaucracy that burdens citizens and businesses should be reduced.

In our view, one of the main problems in the economy today is the use of the government (through budgets and regulation) to prefer narrow interests of interest groups, over broad interests of the general public. The Standards Institute is a striking example of a government mechanism that blocks competition, monitors innovation and causes a significant increase in the cost of living. Another striking example is the excessive power of the labor unions of the powerful government monopolies - such as the Israel Electric Corporation, the Israel Airports Authority and the Israeli seaports and railways. Promoting the principles of free economy and private initiative will decentralize power and prevent exploitation of it.

Solutions exist and are well known, what is missing is the political motivation to promote them. Reforms and legislative changes, such as the adoption of international standards and standards (such as European financial regulation and standartization), and the implementation of a mandatory arbitration law for government monopolies can lead to significant changes in the quality of life of citizens. In addition, we will act to reduce government involvement in the economy and reduce taxes, reduce government bureaucracy, reduce tariffs and encourage economic entrepreneurship.

We support limited government intervention in cases of market failures, with the aim of creating equal opportunities for all citizens. We therefore support broad government investment in quality education, a public health system, the preservation of the people's army and the existence of a basic welfare system that will serve as a safety net that will enable people to improve their situation, but will not encourage citizens to leave the labor market. We oppose the administration of the economy by the government, the deep intervention in the markets and the failed attempts to create "equality in results" among the country's citizens.

Civil rights

Israel is a Jewish and democratic state. There can be no dispute about this.

The rule of law is a central value to be respected. Integrity and law enforcement must be consistently and systematically observed.

A constitution must be established in which government institutions will be established and human and civil rights protected. The constitution will express both the fact that the State of Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people and its democratic character. In this context determines that the state will protect the individual rights of all its citizens without exception. The constitution will consolidate the independent position of the three branches of government - the legislative, the executive and the judicial - with the balance between them and the ability of the elected government to govern.

We will work to promote legislation that will enable alternative marriage tracks, which do not exist today, full equality of rights for LGBT, to protect the right to privacy and non-incrimination of cannabis consumers.

As a democratic and liberal state, the rights of the individual and especially the rights of the minority must be protected.

Each of us can be in a minority group - women and men, Muslims, Druze, Christians, Circassians and Bedouins, Haredim, traditional and secular, new immigrants and veterans. The basic principles of policy should be equality before the law and equal opportunities. The gap between Arab society and Jewish society should be narrowed. The first step will be access to quality, resource-rich education. The second step will be investment in infrastructure (transportation, employment, sanitation, electricity and communications) so that all citizens and respondents will enjoy basic conditions and will have the opportunity to thrive.

Law and enforcement

Laws have value only if they are enforced. The rule of law in the State of Israel does not apply equally to all regions of the state. The State of Israel must ensure that the law is enforced in all its regions - in the city and in the village, in the state center and in the periphery, and in relation to all its citizens, without discrimination.
The enforcement and sovereignty of the State of Israel should be increased, especially in the periphery and near the borders. This is especially true of personal security, tax collection and issues of property and land rights - both private and public.

A fair and strong rule of law depends on the existence of an independent legal system and on an ongoing effort to prevent corruption. The law enforcement system must be protected - from the inside and outside - so that it can protect us.

Public sector

The public sector is an important and essential part of the state and of the Zionist vision.

Government involvement is essential in the areas of national security, personal security, the legal system and education, health and welfare systems. In some areas, we believe that the state should budget equally, but not necessarily operate the activity (eg in education). In other areas, there is no need for direct government activity, and government supervision should be satisfied by means of thin and wise regulation.

For example, in the field of communications, it has been proven that the government administration of the Israel Broadcasting Authority created a costly, inefficient and inefficient mechanism that wasted public funds for many years on low-quality products. Government activity in the areas of trade and logistics, for example, the seaports in Ashdod and Haifa, was also a failure.

The state must be responsible for providing public services to its citizens and residents. The rest of the government services should be privatized where possible and supervised only when necessary. On this issue, Israel should learn from successful and prosperous countries such as Switzerland, which implement the principles of a small and wise government.

At the same time, the public sector must be strengthened and its quality improved: to increase government transparency, the autonomy of the local government, to correct the problematic payment ethic of the state, and to combat corruption and exploitation of power. A basic condition for strengthening the public sector is a comprehensive reform of the personnel management mechanism. The current system does not enable effective recruitment, management and mobility of employees - and any system in which managers do not have the tools and the ability to activate incentives and sanctions - will sink to mediocrity and low productivity. This is not a decree of fate.
