2025 ELECTIONS FOR
WORLD ZIONIST CONGRESS
Background
The World Zionist movement was formed to create a homeland for Jews from around the world, a safe haven, free from fear and persecution. Some 50 years thereafter, this vision, which took form as the State of Israel, was created on the basis of freedom, justice and peace, ensuring social and political equality for all its citizens.
Following recent events impacting the Jewish and Israeli community worldwide, there is a need to create a movement that seamlessly connects Israelis wherever they are. Events of the last year have shown that when the butterfly flaps its wings in Israel, the tsunami is felt across Jewish and Israeli communities worldwide.
Our movement is focused on fostering unity and collaboration across all segments of Israeli society. We aim to direct World Zionist Congress (WZC) projects towards promoting universal democratic principles of equality, mutual respect, and civic engagement as envisioned in Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
Though we operate independently of political parties, we maintain close dialogue with many democratic groups and parties, working towards building a broad coalition with a common goal. Our efforts represent a broad coalition united by shared values and a passion for a just and democratic Israel. Because of that approach we are the only organization representing all pro-democracy movements from Israel, with a clear commitment to safeguarding and strengthening the country’s liberal and democratic foundations.
We are unique in that our partners have mobilized people on the ground and maintained coordination with other democratic organizations. While other groups participating in these elections may focus on specific important political interests, our focus is on rationally allocating resources to ensure Israel remains a democratic, liberal, and just Jewish state that serves all its citizens.
