Man's Rights in the Family Party
political party in Israel
The Man's Rights in the Family Party (Hebrew: מפלגת זכויות הגבר במשפחה - רע"ש, Miflega Zkhuyot HaGever BeMishpaha - Ra'ash) was a minor political party in Israel headed by Yaakov Schlusser.
Background
In 1996, Schlusser published a book, Men's Rights in the Family?, which argued that family law in the State of Israel is biased against men. Issues such as divorce, alimony, false accusations of abuse, and child support are addressed.
Schlusser subsequently contested the 1996 Knesset elections as the head of the Man's Rights in the Family Party. The platform of the party called for the abolition of the clause granting automatic custody to the mother in cases of divorce for small children. It also called for basing child support on other factors besides the cost-of-living index. Other issues the party dealt with was more housing for young couples, lowering taxes, and a call for state pensions. It also called for the option of a secular civil marriage in addition to a religiously recognized marriage. It received 2,388 votes (0.1%), failing to win a seat.
In the 1999 Knesset elections, the party ran under the name "Justice for All", and received 1,257 votes (0.04%), the second lowest number of votes with a 1.5% electoral threshold.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as political party in Israel. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6746068. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996 and 1999.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
