Center Party
The Center Party (Hamercaz) was established in
1999 by Yitzhak Mordechai, Amnon
Lipkin-Shahak, Roni Milo and Dan
Meridor. It tried to carve out a centrist position between Labor and Likud in the 1999
elections. Yitzhak Mordechai was the party’s candidate for Prime Minister, but dropped out at
the last minute when it was clear he had no chance for victory. The
Center Party advocates improving the economy, investing in education, negotiations with Syria and
the Palestinians and uprooting political corruption.
