Atid Echad – A Good Future for Israel

No documented position found. Neither Atid Echad nor Strock has a published cost-of-living programme, and this research found no statement by Strock specifically on food prices or how to lower them. The only related evidence is votes on budgets and economic laws. Her one vote on a competition law dates from 2014, before the 2021 cut-off used for positions, so it is given as dated background only.

• Dated background (Jewish Home period, 2013–2014): Knesset vote records show Strock voted for the 2014 Law for the Promotion of Competition in the Food Sector, which passed its final reading on 19 March 2014 with 37 votes for and none against (counted from the raw per-MK rows) ^{[48, 49]}. She also voted for the 2013–2014 Economic Arrangements Law (the law that carries out the budget's policy changes), passed on 29 July 2013 (56 for, 41 against in the raw rows) ^{[48, 49]}. These votes were cast as a Jewish Home MK, not for Atid Echad.
• Action (25th Knesset): As a minister in the coalition, Strock is part of the government that passed the 2025 state budget, approved by the Knesset on 25 March 2025. Kipa reported that the budget, about NIS 620 billion, increased defence spending and funds for ministries controlled by coalition parties while cutting several civilian areas ^[57]. The Knesset record shows the final reading passed by 66 to 52, with Strock voting for ^[73].
• Partner context (not Atid Echad): The Jerusalem Post reports that Smotrich, as Finance Minister, pushed a dairy-market reform to lower milk and cheese prices by addressing monopolies, which did not pass because of opposition within the coalition, and that he has called for more free-market competition ^[15]. This is Smotrich's (National Union–Tkuma) position, not a documented Strock or Atid Echad position.

No documented position found. This research searched in Hebrew and English for statements by Strock or Atid Echad on crime and murders in Arab communities, the Shin Bet's role, and the July 2026 plan, and found none.

• Context (collective government action, individual vote not found): On 15 July 2026 the government approved a plan led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, Minister May Golan and Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to bring the Shin Bet (Israel's internal security service) into the fight against crime organizations in Arab society. About NIS 497 million was moved from the five-year development plan for Arab communities (known as plan 550): about NIS 364.5 million to a dedicated Shin Bet unit against weapons smuggling and trafficking, and about NIS 132.4 million to a new national police unit ^[56]. Strock is a member of that government, but the report does not say how individual ministers voted, so this cannot be attributed to her as a personal position.

Summary. Strock has consistently opposed deals that would end or pause the war before Hamas is destroyed, is reported to have voted against the October 2025 deal based on the US plan, and has called for Israel to return to Gaza, including with Israeli settlement. She has also said she sees benefits in the current arrangement because the army holds more than half of Gaza.

• Action (reported by Ynet; not checked against an official record): Ynet reported in May 2026 that Strock voted against stopping the war in Gaza and against the Trump plan in October 2025; asked whether she regretted it, she said: "Not at all. I see that every day 600 trucks enter Gaza when there is no need for that amount. And I see what the mass of released terrorists creates" ^[23]. The Jerusalem Post reported on 10 October 2025 that Smotrich also voted against the agreement in the government ^[26].
• Action (reported collectively): In January 2025 the government approved the hostage-and-ceasefire deal by 24 votes to 8; according to The Jerusalem Post, citing Israel Hayom, the ministers who voted against included the Religious Zionism ministers ^[25]. Strock was one of the party's ministers at the time ^[18]; her individual vote is reported only as part of that group.
• Statement: At the cabinet meeting on 16 November 2025, during the ceasefire, Strock asked Netanyahu "How long will the ceasefire last?" and said: "We did not go to war in order to return hostages" ^[27].
• Statement: On 1 May 2024, Strock told Army Radio that a hostage deal then under discussion would "throw [the war] into the trash to save 22 or 33" hostages, and that a government that did so "has absolutely no right to exist". She said the war's written goals were to destroy Hamas's military, governmental and economic capabilities, create conditions to free the hostages, and remove the long-term threat from Gaza, and that her party had supported the first hostage deal in November 2023 and did not consider it a mistake ^[24].
• Statement: In May 2026 she said the current situation had positive elements: "We managed to return all the hostages while we control more than half of the area, are destroying the terror infrastructure there, and have international legitimacy... There is international legitimacy for disarming Hamas and removing it" ^[23].
• Statement (settlement in Gaza): On 21 March 2023, after the Knesset repealed parts of the 2005 Disengagement Law in northern Samaria, Strock said that "the sin of the disengagement will be reversed" and that a return to Gaza, which is "part of the Land of Israel", will involve many casualties ^[32]. Asked in May 2026 whether she sees Israeli settlement in Gaza in the coming years, she answered: "What we did in the last 3.5 years in Judea and Samaria was also considered unrealistic until we came into office. And here it happened" ^[23].

Closest option(s): Return to war and full control of Gaza with Israeli communities rebuilt there (resume-fighting-full-control). Her May 2026 comments, which accept the current situation in which the army holds more than half of Gaza while Hamas is disarmed, also partly match hold-positions-disarmament-first. Her stated long-term aim of settlement in Gaza goes beyond that option.

Summary. Strock says Torah scholars should also serve and that Haredi students' study is not a substitute for military service. However, she has also said that Haredim cannot be enlisted through "beatings, arrests and sanctions" and has argued for a route through agreement. Her party decided in December 2025 to advance the coalition draft bill while asking for changes ^[52], and most of its MKs supported the Haredi-backed legislation passed in 2026 ^[14].

• Dated background (2014; action, Jewish Home period): Strock voted for the Security Service Law (Amendment No. 19), the 2014 Haredi enlistment law, at its final reading on 12 March 2014. The raw per-MK records show 65 votes for and 1 against (the Knesset's summary header lists 63–1) ^{[48, 49]}. JTA reported that the law, prepared by the Shaked Committee, removed most exemptions for yeshiva students and provided for criminal charges against Haredi men who did not enlist, with the penalties not taking effect until 2017; the opposition boycotted the vote ^[50]. She also voted for the National Civilian Service Law passed the same day ^{[48, 49]}. This vote was cast as a Jewish Home MK.
• Statement (May 2026): "You won't hear me say that Torah learners don't need to enlist. With us, Torah learners enlist... You won't hear me say that Torah learners contribute to winning the war like soldiers. To me that is an insult to the Torah." She added: "But as a member of the government and cabinet I must give a realistic answer to this difficulty... I don't believe it is possible to enlist the Haredi public with beatings, arrests and sanctions", because, she said, such measures would not have made her own religious public act against its beliefs either. She said the way forward was the principle she had heard from Haredi MKs, that "whoever does not study Torah must enlist", while stressing that she believes Torah learners should also serve, and said the army must organize so that Haredi parents do not fear their sons will become secular, including on mixed-gender service ^[23].
• Statement (Religious Zionism faction, not Atid Echad): On 27 November 2025, responding to the draft bill prepared by MK Boaz Bismuth, the Religious Zionism faction said: "Our principle was and remains: we will vote only for a law that will bring real and rapid enlistment of Haredim into the IDF" ^[51]. On 10 December 2025 Walla reported that the faction's MKs met with religious-Zionist rabbis and agreed that the bill was not good and needed changes, but that the government should not be brought down and the alliance with Likud and the Haredi parties should not be harmed ^[52]. Strock's own position at that meeting was not reported.
• Change over time: In 2014 Strock voted for a law that included criminal sanctions (from 2017) ^[48–50]. In May 2026 she said she does not believe Haredim can be enlisted through arrests and sanctions ^[23]. She explained the 2026 view as a matter of realism about what works, not a change in her view that Torah learners should serve ^[23].

Closest option(s): Gradual enlistment through agreement with Haredi leadership (gradual-targets-by-agreement), based on her 2026 statements and her party's support for the coalition draft bill. Her 2014 vote for a law with criminal sanctions is older than 2021 and is dated background only.

Summary. Strock's housing record is about settlement and rural development: bringing young families to the Negev, the Galilee and Judea and Samaria through land discounts and new communities. She has not set out a national plan for housing prices.

• Action: In May 2023 Strock set up and led a team of ministry directors-general on land discounts in "national priority areas". On 13 September 2023 the Israel Land Authority council discussed the outline the team had prepared. It included an extra 10% discount for reservists, raising the discount ceiling for people without a home to NIS 850,000 and linking it to the index, and removing the discount ceiling for communities with a high socio-economic ranking. The stated reason was the shortage of young couples moving to the Negev and the Galilee ^[58].
• Statement (letter to the Prime Minister): On 5 September 2024 Ynet reported that Strock wrote to Netanyahu accusing the Israel Land Authority director, Yanki Quint, of turning government decisions on land discounts for rural communities in the Galilee and the Negev into "a dead letter", and of blocking land marketing in rural communities. She also accused him of blocking the 2023 admissions-committees law, which lets communities of up to 700 families screen new residents. The Israel Land Authority rejected the accusations, saying it had approved more than 1,000 discounted land deals since the decision took effect and that some deals were on hold on the Justice Ministry's instructions pending legal questions ^[59].
• Action: The Settlement Division, which operates under Strock's ministry, advanced the new community of Shibolet in the Lower Galilee; on 24 July 2024 the Northern District planning committee approved the plan for deposit (the stage at which the public can file objections). It is a rural community of 350 homes, 20% of them for people with special needs ^[60].
• Action (Judea and Samaria): Strock's ministry is a central body for building and funding settlements, including the government plan of nearly NIS 1 billion reported in August 2023, which included converting five IDF bases in Judea and Samaria into neighbourhoods and industrial zones ^[39] (see Judea and Samaria).

Closest option(s): Develop the periphery and bring families to outlying areas (develop-periphery-and-transport), together with discounted land for young families and reservists (direct-help-for-buyers). Her focus is rural and settlement areas, not the urban renewal or transport parts of the first option.

Summary. The available evidence is about Lebanon. Strock has opposed ceasefire arrangements with Hezbollah that she believes cannot be enforced, called for harsh responses to attacks, and called for changing the border. This research found no detailed statement by her on Iran.

• Statement (security cabinet, June 2026): At a cabinet discussion on 4 June 2026 of a proposed arrangement with Lebanon, whose precondition was that all Hezbollah operatives south of the Litani River move north, Strock said this was "like the sun rising in the west and setting in the east" and that "there will be no agreement, Hezbollah will not move beyond the Litani". She said the norm that "when Israel is attacked, Israel attacks in Beirut" must be carried out on the ground and not only on paper, warned that otherwise Hezbollah would say "a barking dog doesn't bite", and called to "change the border – we need to go in that direction" ^{[63, 64]}.
• Context: In November 2024, the security cabinet approved the US-proposed ceasefire arrangement in Lebanon by 10 votes to 1 ^[65]; this research did not find whether Strock took part in that vote.

Closest option(s): Keep up military pressure on Hezbollah and stay in southern Lebanon without deals that cannot be enforced (military-pressure-until-threats-removed). The evidence is limited to Lebanon and to statements in cabinet meetings, not votes.

Summary. This is Strock's central issue and the area where she has the most actions as minister. She supports applying Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria, rejects a Palestinian state, says the Palestinian Authority should be dismantled, and as minister has funded and promoted new settlements and farms.

• Action (ministry): The Associated Press reported in July 2024 that Strock's ministry confirmed it had budgeted NIS 75 million in December 2023 for security equipment for "young settlements", its term for farms and outposts that the government had not authorized. Her office said the funds were coordinated with the Defense Ministry and "carried out in accordance with all laws" and that she "sees great importance in strengthening settlements" ^[37]. In March 2026 the Times of Israel reported a further NIS 50 million from coalition funds to the ministry for security equipment and access roads for such outposts, out of NIS 395.5 million in coalition funds for the ministry, in addition to about NIS 1.3 billion in its regular budget ^[38].
• Context (court proceedings on coalition funds for the ministry): On 5 August 2026 High Court Justice Alex Stein froze, by interim order, coalition transfers approved by the Knesset Finance Committee during the election recess, including additions to Strock's ministry; the petition, filed by MK Naama Lazimi and the organization Hiddush, challenged the committee's procedure ^[69]. On 24 August 2026 a panel of Justices David Mintz, Khaled Kabub and Ruth Ronnen issued a conditional order requiring the Finance Committee chairman, the Knesset Speaker and the Finance Ministry to explain why the coalition transfers should not be cancelled, and kept about NIS 123 million in transfers to the ministry frozen while releasing urgent funds ^{[70, 71]}. As of the latest report found (24 August 2026), the case was pending and those transfers remained frozen.
• Action (government plan): In August 2023 Calcalist, via Ynetnews, reported a government plan led by Strock of nearly NIS 1 billion (NIS 672 million confirmed at the time) for settlements in Area C (the part of Judea and Samaria under full Israeli control), covering community support, education, security, a medical centre and the conversion of five IDF bases. Parts of it came from the coalition agreement with the Religious Zionism party ^[39].
• Action (government decision): On 29 May 2025 the government approved 22 new settlements in Judea and Samaria, a joint initiative of Defense Minister Israel Katz and Smotrich, including renewed settlement in Homesh and Sa-Nur in northern Samaria. Strock wrote: "We made a promise, and we kept it. New settlements are being established in Judea and Samaria, closing a gap of decades in the settlement of the land" ^[36].
• Action (2021, Religious Zionism period): On 10 May 2021 Strock voted at the preliminary stage for a bill to repeal the evacuation clauses of the Disengagement Plan Implementation Law and rename the law (42 for, 29 against in the raw rows; the Knesset summary header lists 40–29), and for a bill to regularize settlements and neighbourhoods "in regularization processes" (45 for, 30 against in the raw rows; the header lists 43–30) ^{[48, 49]}. These votes were cast as a Religious Zionism MK. The Knesset's official vote record gives the same tallies as the raw rows (42–29 for the disengagement bill) and words the decision as sending each bill to committee "for preparation for second and third reading" ^[82]. The bills were private members' bills, and the Knesset's bill record shows the disengagement bill at the status "preparation for first reading" afterwards, which is the stage that follows a preliminary reading ^[83]. This document therefore describes all the 10 May 2021 votes as preliminary readings.
• Statement (sovereignty): In a July 2024 article, Strock welcomed the Knesset's vote opposing a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River and wrote that Israel must now take "the further step: applying our own sovereignty" to Judea and Samaria. She wrote that "there is no such thing as an occupying people in its own land, and there is also no such thing as a Palestinian people", and called for settlement "in all parts of our land" and "in the end, with God's help, also applying sovereignty" ^[33]. In July 2025 the Knesset passed a declaratory motion calling on the government to apply sovereignty, with 71 MKs in favour ^[34]; the Knesset record shows 71 for and 13 against, with Strock voting for ^[75].
• Contradiction: The coalition agreement between Likud and the Religious Zionist Party, on whose list Strock was elected, signed in its final form on 28 December 2022, says in clause 118 that "the Prime Minister will lead the formulation and advancement of a policy under which sovereignty will be applied in Judea and Samaria, while choosing the timing and weighing all the national and international interests of the State of Israel" ^[89]. Strock says Israel must apply its sovereignty to Judea and Samaria ^[33]. Yet on 15 March 2023 she voted, with the rest of the coalition, against a bill by Yisrael Beytenu chair Avigdor Liberman to apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley (rejected 66 to 14), and on 22 January 2025 she voted against the same bill again (rejected 56 to 32) ^{[85, 86]}. Both were opposition bills, and she voted with the coalition. Before the 2023 vote the Ministerial Committee for Legislation had decided that the coalition would not support the bill. Replying for the government, Strock called it a "trolling bill" and said: "the whole coalition supports sovereignty. We will advance it at the appropriate time" ^[87].
• Statement (outcome so far): In May 2026 Strock said: "We did not apply sovereignty. That is a point where we did not succeed. It is a veto Trump placed and we did not break it." She described the farms and new settlements as "a correction of Oslo" in control of open areas, and said: "The goal was to turn back the wheel of the withdrawals of Oslo and the disengagement. We believe... that Oslo is the great disaster of the State of Israel, and we are working to fix it" ^[23].
• Statement (Palestinian Authority): "It is a hostile entity and it should not be here. It needs to be dismantled." She proposed returning to local municipal rule in Palestinian cities and villages, and said she raises changing policy toward the Palestinian Authority in almost every cabinet discussion ^[23].
• Statement (Hebron and Hebron Hills): On 7 July 2024 Army Radio broadcast a recording of Strock telling residents in the Hebron Hills: "For me it is like a time of miracle... We want to accomplish as much as possible", calling settlement there "a holy mission" ^[35].
• Statement (settler violence): In June 2023, after the IDF chief, the Shin Bet head and the police commissioner described attacks by Israelis on Palestinian villages as "nationalist terrorism", Strock said: "Who do you think you are? The Wagner Group?" and that it was "a shame and disgrace to call these events nationalist terrorism". In the same comments she said she was against the actions of the settlers involved, and in another interview she called on anyone considering such acts not to carry them out: "This is not our way at all" ^[40].

Closest option(s): Full sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, expanding settlements and dismantling the Palestinian Authority (full-sovereignty).

Summary. Strock supports giving elected officials more power over the courts and the attorney general. She is a member of the government whose coalition passed these changes, and the Knesset record shows her voting for the reasonableness law, the Judicial Selection Law and the attorney-general law.

• Statement: At a rally on 12 March 2023 she said: "We know that the vote in the elections was over the reform, we have no intention of retreating from it... We are abolishing the dictatorship of the High Court of Justice and enabling democracy to emerge" ^[41].
• Action (2021, Religious Zionism period): On 10 May 2021 Strock voted at the preliminary stage for bills to add an "override clause" (letting the Knesset re-enact laws the Supreme Court strikes down): the proposed Basic Law: The Override, and an amendment to Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty. The raw per-MK rows show 41–30 and 40–30 respectively (the headers list 39–30 and 38–30) ^{[48, 49]}. These votes were cast as a Religious Zionism MK.
• Action (collective cabinet decision): On 4 August 2025 the cabinet, of which Strock is a member, voted unanimously to dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara; the report does not list which ministers were present ^[44]. The Supreme Court froze the dismissal and later issued conditional orders against it ^{[44, 45]}.
• Action (25th Knesset votes): The coalition passed the law cancelling the "reasonableness" ground for judicial review on 24 July 2023 by 64–0, with the opposition boycotting ^[42]; the Judicial Selection Law, which gives politicians more influence over appointing judges from the next Knesset, on 27 March 2025, also with an opposition boycott ^[43]; and on 15 July 2026 a law making the attorney general's legal opinions advisory to the government, which takes effect on 1 January 2027 ^{[46, 47]}. All three were advanced by coalition partners including Religious Zionism's Simcha Rothman ^{[42, 47]}. The Knesset record shows Strock voting for all three: the reasonableness law (64 for, none against), the Judicial Selection Law (67 for, 1 against, 2 present but not voting) and the attorney-general law (65 for, 51 against) ^{[72, 74, 81]}.

Closest option(s): Give elected officials more power over the courts and end the binding force of the attorney general's opinions (continue-judicial-changes).

Summary. Strock has said she supports an investigation but is part of the government that decided not to set up a state commission of inquiry. Her comments suggest distrust of a commission formed under the existing law.

• Action (collective government decision; individual votes not reported): On 16 November 2025 the government decided not to set up a state commission of inquiry and instead to promote a commission of inquiry whose composition would "reflect broad agreement among the public as far as possible" ^[28]. During that meeting Strock said: "There will be a campaign. Take that into account. Whoever managed to dull public opinion with the hostages will succeed with this too" ^[27]. When the cabinet secretary told her there would be a commission in the end, she replied: "I am in favour of an investigation" ^[29]. Strock told N12 that she had said in the meeting that the inquiry should also cover the period before the war, going back to the Oslo Accords, such as "what happened following the abduction of Hadar Goldin" ^[27].
• Action (coalition bill; first-reading vote not in the Knesset record): On 6 July 2026 the Knesset passed at first reading a coalition-backed bill for a commission whose six members would be chosen by a two-thirds Knesset majority or, failing that, three by the coalition and three by the opposition, with former hostages or bereaved families as observers. It passed 59–0 with the opposition boycotting ^[31]. The Knesset's bill record shows the bill moved to preparation for its second and third readings on 6 July 2026, but no per-MK record of the first-reading vote is published in the Knesset's vote services ^[77]. At the bill's preliminary reading on 24 December 2025, which passed 53 to 48 with one abstention, the Knesset record shows Strock voting for ^[76]. The government told the Supreme Court it considered itself authorized to decide whether, when and with what mandate to set up an inquiry ^[30].

Closest option(s): A commission chosen through the Knesset (commission-appointed-by-knesset-balance), based on the government decision and coalition bill she is part of, and her recorded vote for that bill at its preliminary reading ^[76]. Her own statements are limited.

Summary. Strock supports a strong role for Orthodox Judaism and the Chief Rabbinate in public life, opposes recognition of alternatives in conversion, and has defended religious exemptions for service providers. She says she opposes coercion in private life but wants the state's public sphere and official procedures to follow Jewish law.

• Statement (2022): "We are not in favour of coercion, but we think and demand that the public sphere be run as a Jewish state. The official processes of the state should be according to the law of Moses and Israel" ^[4].
• Dated background (2014; action, Jewish Home period): As a Constitution Committee member in March 2014, Strock filed dozens of objections that stopped a conversion bill by MK Elazar Stern, which would have let any city rabbi convert without the Chief Rabbinate's involvement. She backed instead a Jewish Home bill that kept one Chief Rabbinate member on each conversion court. She said: "The aim is not to strengthen Rabbi Yosef or Shas but to prevent harm to the status of the Chief Rabbinate", and "we are not willing to let them sell a fake product to people coming to join the Jewish people" ^[55].
• Statement and coalition commitment (2022): In December 2022 Strock said a doctor could refuse treatment that violates his religious beliefs "as long as there are enough other doctors who can give this service", in the context of an amendment to the anti-discrimination law her party was drafting and that coalition agreements provided for. After criticism she said she meant certain medical procedures, not LGBT patients; Netanyahu called her remarks "unacceptable" ^[54].
• Action (ministry): Her ministry took over the Education Ministry's Jewish Culture branch and the Religious Services Ministry's Directorate of Jewish Identity ^[19], and added Judaism, Zionism and heritage enrichment to national service ^[62].
• Action: On 13 July 2026 the Knesset passed Basic Law: Torah Study by 63–52 ^[53]. The Knesset record shows Strock voting for it at all three of its votes: the preliminary reading on 10 June 2026 (56 for, 43 against), the first reading on 1 July 2026 (63 for, 53 against) and the final reading (63 for, 52 against) ^{[78, 79, 80]}. As The Jerusalem Post reported, in the June vote six of the Religious Zionism faction's seven MKs backed it and MK Moshe Solomon voted against ^{[15, 78]}; the record shows Solomon voting against again at the first reading and for at the final reading ^{[79, 80]}.

Closest option(s): Strengthen the Jewish character of the state and keep marriage, divorce and conversion only through the Orthodox Rabbinate (strengthen-jewish-character). Her statement that she opposes coercion in private life suggests she would not enforce every point of that option by law.

• Statement: Strock describes the Oslo Accords as "the great disaster of the State of Israel" and says her political goal is to reverse the withdrawals of Oslo and the 2005 disengagement ^[23].
• Statement: In July 2024 she wrote that promoting the idea of a Palestinian state "is a prize for terror" and that Israel must "prevent its establishment in every way" ^[33].

• Action: As the minister responsible for civilian national service, Strock launched a reform in January 2025: a single national selection system in place of eight separate service organizations, professional training, new support programmes and optional evening study in Judaism, Zionism and heritage ^[62]. Kipa reported that the service passed 20,000 volunteers that year, including 5,782 from Arab and Druze communities and 1,535 Haredim ^[62].
• Action: Her ministry also oversees pre-military academies (mechinot) ^[19]. In May 2026 she said she agreed with the IDF chief of staff on setting up more farms in Judea and Samaria and more academies along the eastern corridor ^[23].

• Action: Strock's ministry promotes new communities and land discounts in the Galilee and the Negev (see Housing) ^[58–60]. She said in July 2024 that settlement "in all its areas, and above all in the strategic areas" continues despite the war ^[60], and that alongside Judea and Samaria she is promoting communities in national priority areas, especially the evacuated areas in the south and north ^[35].

• Statement: In February 2023 Strock told settlers in outposts that "you went out on our mission to establish all the communities" and that governments must support them; "even the Americans can understand such a thing, although we don't need their understanding" ^[61].
• Statement: In May 2026 she said most of the major changes in Judea and Samaria, including the first new settlements and the farms, were made while Joe Biden was president, and that there had been no dramatic change under Trump ^[23].
• Statement: Asked in May 2026 about reports that the International Criminal Court might seek an arrest warrant against her, she said that she sees it as "a certificate of honour" because it would be over settlement, and that she does not travel abroad ^[23]. This research found no official act by the International Criminal Court concerning her.

• Statement: In May 2026 Strock said that she hears rabbis in her community, "even moderate ones", protesting mixed-gender service in the Armored Corps, that the army should take account of the whole spectrum of the public, and that she is not afraid to disagree with the chief of staff on this ^[23].

• Statement: See Religion and state: in December 2022 she defended letting service providers, including doctors, refuse services that violate their religious beliefs if others can provide them, then clarified she meant certain procedures rather than LGBT people ^[54].

• Statement: Strock supports the 2023 law that expanded admissions committees (which screen new residents) to communities of up to 700 families, and in September 2024 accused the Israel Land Authority of obstructing it ^[59].

• Statement: Strock says her ministry gives priority to communities in national priority areas, "with an emphasis on the evacuated areas in the south and the north" ^[35]. Under her ministry, national-service volunteers worked with evacuees from the Gaza-border and northern communities and helped prepare for their return ^[62].
