Tzomet and Beit Yisrael Parties Establish the "Third Camp on the Right"
Moshe Green and former MK Gadi Yevarkan have announced a political merger ahead of the upcoming elections, aiming to bridge agricultural settlement, labor Zionism, and the social-national right.
Moshe Green, chairman of the Tzomet party, and former Knesset member and Deputy Minister Gadi Yevarkan, chairman of the Beit Yisrael party, have announced the establishment of the "Third Camp on the Right." This joint political framework will run in the upcoming elections, seeking to connect the national camp with the working public, the settlement movement, agriculture, and communities currently lacking sufficient representation.
The Milla organization (Reservists for the People), led by Nitzan Elimelech, is also joining the merger. The party's launch conference is scheduled for August 31, 2026, in Petah Tikva. The leaders emphasize that they aim to provide a broad political home for the right-wing and Zionist public that feels its needs have been sidelined.
Heritage and Vision
The Tzomet party, founded in 1983 by former Chief of Staff Rafael "Raful" Eitan, is rooted in the labor settlement movement. It promotes a practical Zionism where love for the country is demonstrated through daily labor, service to the state, and personal responsibility. The merger with Beit Yisrael expands this vision to the broader Israeli society.
Beit Yisrael, led by Gadi Yevarkan, focuses on socio-economic issues, including the cost of living, equal opportunity, and support for senior citizens, while maintaining a firm commitment to Israel’s identity as a Jewish and democratic state.
Joint Platform
The parties have announced that their joint platform will focus on:
-
Strengthening security and governance
-
Rehabilitating agriculture and the settlement movement
-
Ensuring food security
-
Lowering the cost of living and reducing social gaps
-
Improving the status of senior citizens and creating opportunities for youth
Moshe Green stated: "We are creating a force that will connect the rural space, the periphery, and everyone seeking honest and practical leadership." Gadi Yevarkan added: "We need a home that connects the Land of Israel to the People of Israel, balancing military strength with economic security."
"We are returning politics to the basic values upon which the state was built: love for the country, work, service, and mutual responsibility," the leaders of the Third Camp on the Right concluded.
