HaYisraelim (Hebrew: הישראלים‎, lit. The Israelis) is a new minor political party in Israel which ran in the 2009 elections. It was led by Professor Gideon Doron, a political scientist at Tel Aviv University before his death on 25 December 2011.

A single issue party, its main policy is the reform of the country's voting system, replacing the Knesset's pure proportional representation (PR) method with a division of 60 constituency seats and 60 PR seats.[1]

The party won only 865 votes and failed to pass the electoral threshold.
