HaBir

HaBir is a term that can refer to several distinct entities, most notably a historical Hebrew word and a modern Israeli political party. Historically, "haBir" (הַבִּיר) in Hebrew translates to "the mighty one" or "the great one." It is sometimes used in religious or poetic contexts to refer to God or a powerful ruler. The word's etymology is ancient, appearing in biblical Hebrew.

More recently, "HaBir" is also the name of a political party in Israel. Founded in 2019, the party is characterized by its nationalist and right-wing platform. It advocates for a strong Israeli security presence and has focused on issues such as settlement expansion and national identity. The party has participated in Israeli elections, though its electoral success has varied. Its political positions are generally aligned with other right-wing parties in the Israeli political landscape, emphasizing Jewish sovereignty and cultural values within the state. The party's name in Hebrew is a deliberate choice, drawing on the historical and powerful connotations of the word.
