Tzachi Eliyahu is set to enter the Israeli parliament following his placement in the eighth position on the Otzma Yehudit party list. The party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir, is preparing for the national elections scheduled for October.

Eliyahu has drawn significant public attention due to his open affiliation with the Kach movement, an organization that was officially banned in Israel decades ago due to its extremist ideology. Reports indicate that Eliyahu has a visible tattoo referencing the movement on his arm, which has been documented in social media imagery.

The inclusion of Eliyahu on the party list highlights the ongoing debate regarding the influence of Kahanist ideology within the current Israeli political landscape. While supporters of the party emphasize their nationalist platform, critics point to the historical context of the Kach movement—which advocated for the expulsion of Arabs from Israel and the occupied territories—as a cause for concern regarding the direction of the party's legislative agenda. As the election approaches, the presence of figures associated with this ideology remains a focal point for political analysts and observers monitoring the composition of the next Knesset.
