Ikhud
Leumi list was founded in 1999 as united list of two parties: Tekuma
(=Resurrection, founded 2000) and Moledet
(=Homeland Israel-Land Trustees Movement and Thiya
[Revival former right wing party] Veterans. founded 1988).
It was later joined by Zionot Datit Leumit Mithadeshet
(Renewal National Religious Zionism) that split from MAFDAL. It
had 7 seats in the 16th Knesset.
In 2006 General Elections it ran
together with Mafdal Party in a joint
list. The two parties, which had together 11 seats in the 16th
Knesset and expected to become a major power as the
representatives of the anti-evacuation right wing, took a blow
and got only 9 seats in 2006 and are in the opposition. Only days
will say if this ad-hoc union will continue.
Ihud Leumi is using its logo (flag-like blue background with the
inscription Ikhud (orange top) and Leumi
(white bottom). This logo is also appears in the center of
Orange flag. The orange is used as it was the color of the
anti-evacuation campaign, which was strongly supported by this
party.

Ikhud
Leumi was three parties, Tekuma (breakaway from Mafdal), Moledet, and Herut (breakaway from Likud, not to be confused with one of
the original components of Likud). In the last election, it ran
together with Yisrael Beitenu (semi-breakaway of Likud), and
Herut ran on its own then (no seats) and again in this election
(with a semi-breakaway of their own). Yisrael Beitenu is also
running on its own in this election.
