Yiud (Hebrew: יעוד‎, Mission) was a small, short-lived political faction in Israel in the mid-1990s.

[edit] Background

The faction was formed on 7 February 1994 during the 13th Knesset when three MKs, Alex Goldfarb, Esther Salmovitz and Gonen Segev broke away from Tzomet following a disagreement with the party's leader, Rafael Eitan. They joined Yitzhak Rabin's government, and Segev was appointed Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, whilst Goldfarb was made Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction.

However, Goldfarb and Salmovitz later broke away to form Atid, leaving Segev as the faction's only member.
