HaTzeirim

HaTzeirim was a short-lived political faction in Israel in the late 1990s.

Background

The faction was formed on 23 March 1999, during the 1996 [Israeli legislative election|14th Knesset], when Centre [Party (Israel)|Center Party] MK Eliezer Sandberg broke away from his party and established a single-member parliamentary group.
However, the faction was short-lived, as a week after its creation, Sandberg joined the Shinui group. He was later part of a group that broke away to form Secular Faction and then National Home, which merged into Likud.
