Otzma Yehudit is a far-right nationalist Israeli political party. The party, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is often criticized for being extremist and the ideological descendent of the Kahanist Kach Party, which has been designated a terrorist organization.
The party supports expansion of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank as well as annexing the West Bank, and supports eased regulations on gaining firearm licenses. It also has advocated for changing IDF rules of engagement, empowering the Israel Police, cracking down on Arab sector crime, and Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount.
