'Israeli' Knesset member and former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Sharren Haskel held a campaign event in the Druze village of Ein Qiniyye, located in the 'Israeli'-occupied Golan Heights, on Sunday evening, ahead of the upcoming legislative elections.
Haskel, who recently launched the "Israel First" party after resigning from her deputy ministerial post, gathered with local attendees as part of an outreach tour across northern communities.
During the event in Ein Qiniyye, Haskel presented the core tenets of "Israel First," positioning the party as a political home for right-wing and security-focused voters who advocate economic liberalism and government reform.
Haskel established the new faction following her departure from the diplomatic post, framing her movement as an independent alternative aimed at reshaping parliamentary coalitions without relying on sectoral compromises.
The campaign stop in the occupied Golan Heights comes as political parties assemble their candidate slates and mobilize support across diverse regional constituencies ahead of the October vote.
