Religious Zionist Party

'Revival')[15] until 2021 and officially known as National Union–Tkuma (Hebrew: האיחוד הלאומי-תקומה, HaIchud HaLeumi–Tkuma),[16] was a far-right,[1][2] ultra-nationalist,[2] Jewish supremacist,[2] and religious Zionist[1][2] political party in Israel.

These elections were a failure for the right-wing bloc, and were won by Ehud Barak, leaving the National Union and Tkuma in the opposition.

One year later, Tkuma and the rest of the National Union left Sharon's government over disagreements over the handling of the Second Intifada.

For the 2003 elections, the National Union kept its alliance with Yisrael Beiteinu, with its increased support helping to win seven seats for the entire list, and two for Tkuma.

The party decided to continue its alliance with the Jewish Home for the 2015 Knesset elections,[26] taking the 2nd, 8th, 13th, and 17th spots on the joint list.

[37] On 22 April 2020 it was reported that Yamina leader Naftali Bennett was now "considering all options" for Yamina's political future, including departing from Netanyahu's government, which had just agreed to a coalition government with the leader of the opposition Blue and White party, Benny Gantz, and joining the opposition.

On 17 May 2020 Bennett met with Gantz, who also succeeded him as defence minister, and declared that the Yamina party would be a member of the opposition, with its "head held high".

[42] In February 2021 the party agreed to run a shared list for the 2021 Knesset elections with Noam and Otzma Yehudit.

[45][46] The Religious Zionist Party, Noam and Otzma Yehudit submitted a single list on 14 September 2022 ahead of the 2022 Knesset elections,[47] which saw the alliance win 14 seats.

[52] Jewish-American columnist David E. Rosenberg has stated that the Religious Zionist Party's "platform includes things like annexation of West Bank settlements, the expulsion of asylum-seekers, and political control of the judicial system".
