Legendary card · No. 1529

Otzma Yehudit (Hebrew: עָצְמָה יְהוּדִית, lit. 'Jewish Power' or 'Jewish Strength') is a far-right, ultranationalist, and Kahanist political party in Israel. The party was founded on 13 November 2012 as Otzma LeYisrael (Hebrew: עָצְמָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל; lit. 'Strength for Israel') and is the ideological descendant of the outlawed Kach party. It has six members in the Knesset. The party advocates for the deportation of those who they consider to be the "enemies of Israel", and leader Itamar Ben-Gvir was associated with the original Kach movement, though he now disagrees with the stance of deporting all Arabs from Israel.

Otzma ran independently in the 2013 election and as part of a list with ultra-Orthodox party Yachad in 2015...
