Right-Wing Parties Tzomet and Beit Israel Unite Ahead of 2026 Elections

Two right-wing Israeli parties, Tzomet led by Moshe Green and Beit Israel headed by former MK and Deputy Minister Gadi Yevarkan, have announced a political alliance called "The Third Camp on the Right" ahead of the upcoming elections. The new framework also includes the organization Miluim LeMa'an HaAm (Reserve Duty for the People), led by Nitzan Elimelech, along with other reservists. The alliance aims to bridge national right-wing ideology with issues related to settlement, agriculture, the periphery, and socio-economic concerns. The launch conference is scheduled for August 31 in Petah Tikva.

The alliance seeks to represent a broad right-wing and Zionist public that feels underrepresented, emphasizing a combination of national security and social-economic agendas. Both parties intend to develop a joint platform focusing on strengthening security and governance, revitalizing agriculture and settlements, ensuring food security, reducing living costs, narrowing social gaps, supporting peripheral regions, improving conditions for the elderly, and creating opportunities for youth.

Moshe Green described Tzomet's roots in the working Zionist settlement movement and stressed the alliance's goal to revive a "working right" that protects the land and those who cultivate it. Gadi Yevarkan highlighted the need for a right-wing home that connects the land of Israel with its people, emphasizing economic security, equal opportunity, and a future for all citizens. The parties concluded that their joint effort aims to restore Israeli politics to foundational values such as love of the land, work, service, mutual responsibility, and faith in people.

Tzomet was founded in 1983 by former IDF Chief of Staff Rafael "Raful" Eitan and has historically combined right-wing security views with commitments to education, state service, agriculture, and personal responsibility. Beit Israel presents itself as a socially and economically focused right-wing party. This alliance marks a strategic attempt to unify diverse right-wing constituencies ahead of the 2026 elections.
