The party is also working to restore Jewish sovereignty to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It advocates a "total war" - "without negotiations, concessions or compromises" - against the "enemies of Israel" and wants to "resettle" those Arabs who are "hostile and disloyal" to the state of Israel to Arab countries. The State of Israel must orient itself towards “Jewish morality” and “Jewish values” and represent Jewish interests. Accordingly, Otzma Jehudit demands the strengthening and promotion of the “traditional family” and rejects abortion and same-sex marriages. In economic terms, the party advocates “Jewish capitalism ” while at the same time supporting poor, old, sick, disabled and weak sections of the population.
