Yamin Israel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yamin Israel Party is lead by Paul Eidelberg, Eleonora Shifrin, and Israel Hanakuglu.

Yamin Israel believes in interfacing Jewish and Democratic principles in order to effectively reform the system of government in Israel with a special emphasis on electoral reform and a Jewish constitution.

In 2003, Eidelberg's Yamin Israel ran with the Herut Party for the Knesset elections of that year. The joint list fell just 8,000 votes short of the electoral threshold. After the elections Herut and Yamin Israel parted ways.

In 2005, Yamin Israel merged with the Jewish National Front Party. Eidelberg stood number seven on Hazit's list for the Israeli Knesset for the March 28, 2006 election. The JNF did win enough votes for the equivalent of one Knesset seat, however, it did not pass Israel's electoral threshold. The parties have since split ways.
