The Yamin Israel Party, under the present leadership of
Prof. Paul Eidelberg, Eleonora Shifrin and Prof. Israel
Hanukoglu, is happy to announce its merger with the Jewish
National Front (Hazit) under the chairmanship of Baruch
Merzel.

Prof. Hanukoglu, a former chairman of Professors for a
Strong Israel, and a former science adviser to prime
minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will head Hazit's election
campaign. Prof. Paul Eidelberg, Eleonora Shifrin and Yamin
Israel board member Yakov Segal will join the leadership of
Hazit.

We are especially pleased that Hazit has enthusiastically
adopted Yamin Israel's comprehensive program of
institutional reform. Together we offer an alternative to
Israel's existing system of government, whose political and
judicial institutions violate basic democratic as well as
Jewish principles.

The purpose of our merger is to serve as a foundation for a
broad coalition of Jewish nationalist groups that will offer
- for the first time - a real representation to the
nationalist camp in the Knesset.

Together we are committed to an uncompromising position
regarding Eretz Yisrael, Am Yisrael, and Torat Yisrael.

Respectful of our heritage, we shall fight to transform
Israel's unJewish and unrepresentative system of government
whose policies are leading to Israel's demise as a Jewish
state.

We call upon all extra-parliamentary Jewish groups to join
Hazit, the one and only Jewish National Front.
