The far-right Noam Party<\/a> on Wednesday launched its campaign ahead of the upcoming elections, rebranding itself as \u201cNoam for Israel,\u201d and calling for new alliances aimed at strengthening the right-wing bloc.<\/p>\n

MK Avi Maoz<\/a> has been the leader of the ultra-conservative Noam party since its establishment in 2019. The party opposes homosexuality, the LGBTQ community in general, and pushes for expanding Jewish settlements in the West Bank.<\/p>\n

Maoz ran jointly with the Religious Zionist Party<\/a> in the 2022 elections<\/a> and then split off from the technical bloc. Maoz left the coalition in 2025 and is the sole representative of the Noam Party in the Knesset.<\/p>\n

The party stated that the reason for changing the name from Noam to Noam for Israel was made following in-depth surveys and political alliance efforts, and \u201cstems from an approach aimed at expanding its activities to the broader Israeli public.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the party, the move is intended to place political connections and alliances at the center and offer a political home to broader groups.<\/p>\n

The target groups listed by the party included traditional, religious, haredi (ultra-Orthodox) and other right-wing voters \u201cwho are disappointed with existing parties and are seeking a national and values-based framework that preserves the Jewish identity of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

The party stated that one of its main goals was to ensure the passage of a contentious judicial reform in the country.<\/p>\n

Participants at the campaign launch included Maoz and the party\u2019s Knesset candidates: former Kiryat Arba Council head Eliyahu Libman, and Beersheba Deputy Mayor Shimon Tubul.<\/p>\n

Tubul was reportedly indicted on Tuesday on charges of assaulting two gas station employees for playing \u00a0Arabic music.<\/p>\n

Maoz said at the launch of the campaign that \u201caccording to all commentators and polls, in order for the right-wing bloc to win, another right-wing party needs to be established.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is no secret that there is a majority for the right among the people, but not among voters. \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, there are many who are disappointed with the existing parties, and we will provide them with a safe political home that remains loyal to the values of Israel\u2019s religious and right-wing camp,\u201d Maoz added.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post in May, Maoz said that he was seeking to be education minister in the next government. He also said that he would not rule out alliances and was considering his options at the time.<\/p>\n

General elections are set to take place on October 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The far-right Noam Party on Wednesday launched its campaign ahead of the upcoming elections, rebranding itself as \u201cNoam…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[29674,37621,1303,2196,37,30760,2742,27539],"class_list":["post-229665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-2026-israeli-elections","tag-avi-maoz","tag-elections","tag-far-right","tag-israel","tag-israel-political-situation","tag-israeli-politics","tag-right-wing"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117010645753004659","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
