Social Justice (political party)

Social Justice (Hebrew: צדק חברתי, Tzedek Hevrati) was a political party in Israel headed by Russian-Israeli businessman Arcadi Gaydamak.

Claiming it could win 20 seats in the next elections and that he was the "most popular public figure in Israel", Gaydamak also said that he would not seek to enter the Knesset himself, though he would like to play a major role in Israeli politics.

However, following the party's official launch, associates of Gaydamak said that he was not ruling out supporting Labour's Ehud Barak.

[5] According to polls in August 2007, support for the party had dropped below the threshold needed to win a seat in the Knesset.

Gaydamak is also popular in development towns, such as Sderot, and in the Israeli Arab, Bedouin, Druze and ultra-orthodox communities.
