Settlement movement (Israel)

Settlement movement (Hebrew: תנועת התיישבות) is a term used in Israel to describe national umbrella organisations for kibbutzim, moshavim, moshavim shitufiim, and community settlements.

[citation needed] Most kibbutzim are members of either the Kibbutz Movement[2] or the Religious Kibbutz Movement, whilst most moshavim and community settlements are divided between the Moshavim Movement, Mishkei Herut Beitar, the Agricultural Union and HaOved HaTzioni.

Many religious moshavim are affiliated with Hapoel HaMizrachi or Poalei Agudat Yisrael movements.

Moshavim established after 1967 in the West Bank, outside the Green Line, are typically affiliated with Amana.

Most of the former organisations had political affiliations; HaKibbutz HaMeuhad was aligned with Ahdut HaAvoda and Ihud HaKvutzot veHaKibbutzim with Mapai and Labour.
