Yaron Zelekha

An unusual storm that hit Cyprus caused flight disruptions for many Israelis. Gilad Erdan and Yaron Zelekha are in talks to form a new political force. Two men were killed in a car accident in the Galilee. A soldier was arrested for extortion on TikTok while impersonating a minor. Security forces are investigating clashes in Samaria. Additionally, a deadly drone attack in Kyiv and a coup attempt...

Parallel to talks with Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz, the chairman of the "Ha-Achdut" party, Gilad Ardan, revealed that a joint run with Prof. Yaron Zelekha is on the table to fight the cost of living crisis. "We will accelerate the talks in the coming days."

Scottish philosopher and economist Adam Smith formulated in his book the immense benefits that will accrue to the economy when there is competition in a free market. These words are considered sacred for large parts of the right in Israel, as right-wing parties adhere to this principle, which is one of the fundamental principles of capitalism.

Did Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believe in real time that the judicial reform led by Justice Minister Yariv Levin was complicating things for him? In a special interview with C14, Prof. Yaron Zelekha revealed details of a meeting he held with Netanyahu on the eve of October 7, including a highly unusual statement attributed to the Prime Minister.

Until now, you have heard about him mainly through videos on social networks. You may have even come across another video of his about the cost of living that exploded in your feed, or another attack on banks, monopolies, or politicians. But behind the videos and big promises is a person who is now asking for one thing — real political power.

The chairman of the Economic Party goes on the offensive against Israel's economic system: "Instead of competition, we got markets controlled by monopolies." According to him, both the right and the left have failed, turning the state into a mechanism that serves pressure groups instead of citizens. So how do we get out of the mud?
