Mekhora (Hebrew: מכורה‎, lit. Homeland) was a short-lived one-man political faction in Israel in the late 1990s.

[edit] Background

The faction was formed during the 14th Knesset when MK Moshe Peled, a Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and Deputy Minister of Education, Culture and Sport, left Tzomet. After forming his own single member parliamentary group, Peled later joined the right-wing party Moledet. He lost his seat in the 1999 elections.
