Geulat Israel (Hebrew: גאולת ישראל‎, Salvation of Israel) was a short-lived ultra-orthodox political party in Israel in the early 1990s.

[edit] Background

The party was initially a Knesset faction during the 12th Knesset when Eliezer Mizrahi broke away from Agudat Israel. Despite leaving the party, Mizrahi remained Deputy Minister of Health.

The faction became a full political party in order to contest the 1992 elections. However, it failed to cross the electoral threshold of 1.5%, and subsequently disappeared
