First of all, thank you for featuring us on your list. Let me share a few details about myself: if you look me up on social media using my English name, you will discover that I trained as a pilot and spent many years involved in politics. After a long hiatus, I am attempting to return to political life with three main goals:
To impose severe mandatory minimum sentences on murderers, rapists, fraudsters, and dangerous criminals.
To establish a new judicial body to try government officials who act unlawfully and do whatever they please.
As the father of a combat soldier and someone deeply connected to the world of Torah study, to promote widespread military enlistment—under the slogan "Enlistment is a Blessing"—ensuring that only truly outstanding Torah scholars continue to dedicate themselves to Torah study as a means of protecting the people.
