Tzomet
Tzomet (Movement for Renewed Zionism) was
established by former army chief-of-staff Rafael
"Raful" Eitan, the party splintered from the right-wing Tehiya Party prior to the
1988 elections. A militantly secular party, Tzomet joined Likud in 1996 and won five seats in the elections.
Tzomet did not win any seats
in the 15th Knesset. Tzomet opposes the Oslo
accords and favors full retention of the West Bank.
