Tsomet
A party headed by Rafael Eitan, which combines right-wing political positions with a demand for the separation of religion and state. In the elections to the 14th Knesset it ran with the Likud and Gesher and is a member of the government. It had five seats in the 14th Knesset. Tsomet is running independently for the 15th Knesset, after Eitan declined to join the new right-wing alignment led by Binyamin Begin.
