Social activist Moshe Har-Zion announced on Tuesday afternoon that he will be joining the People of Israel party, headed by Brig.-Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter, and will be included on its Knesset slate.
Har-Zion is the founder of the Artzi movement, which works to strengthen and protect Israel's agriculture, peripheral towns, and rural areas.
He currently lives in the Lower Galilee and is the son of legendary Israeli hero Meir Har-Zion, a founder of the IDF's Unit 101, one of the military's first special forces units, headed by Ariel Sharon.
Moshe Har-Zion says Winter believes in defeating enemies, settling land
“I am happy to join the People of Israel party led by Brig.-Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter," Har-Zion said. "Winter represents the values on which I was raised and in which I believe: defeating the enemy and settling our land. I intend to represent within the party the people of the land, agriculture, and rural areas."
"I strongly believe in the importance of bringing new forces into the political arena and into positions of influence, especially after October 7. The People of Israel party represents this in the best possible way.”
