Hitahdut HaIkarim

The Hitahdut HaIkarim (Hebrew: התאחדות האיכרים‎, lit. Association of the Farmers) is a settlement movement for private farmers in Israel.

The Hitahdut HaMoshavot BeYehuda VeShomron (Hebrew: התאחדות המושבות ביהודה ושומרון‎, Association of moshavot in Judea and Samaria) was founded in Yavne'el in 1920, making it the oldest agricultural organisation in Israel.[1] In 1927 it was expanded and renamed Hitahdut HaIkarim BeEretz Israel (Hebrew: התאחדות האיכרים בארץ ישראל‎, lit. Association of the Farmers in the Land of Israel). After Israeli independence it adopted its current name. Haim Ariav, a member of the Knesset, served as its secretary
