Union of Right-Wing Parties
The Union of Right-wing Parties (Hebrew: איחוד מפלגות הימין, Ihud Miflagot HaYamin) was a short-lived electoral alliance of right-wing to far-right religious Zionist parties which included HaBayit HaYehudi, Otzma Yehudit, and Tkuma. The list was created ahead of the April 2019 Israeli legislative election after Benjamin Netanyahu, urged The Jewish Home to accept Otzma Yehudit and Tkuma as part of its list for the April election, to avoid loss of votes by the right-wing bloc and International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli officials. The alliance gained five seats in the April election.
Otzma Yehudit left the union on 5 July 2019, citing disagreements with the party, such as the refusal of URWP members to resign to allow Itamar Ben-Gvir to become a Knesset member. In addition, Otzma was unwilling to leave Baruch Marzel and Benzi Gopstein off the electoral slate, as Rafi Peretz demanded.
For the September 2019 election, the URWP ran on a joint list, called Yamina, with the New Right, to get both to pass the 3.25% threshold to enter the Knesset, after the New Right failed to pass the threshold in the April election. The parties later split, though Yamina re-formed for the 2020 Israeli legislative election.
In January 2019, Tkuma and Otzma entered talks to form a joint list; however, the talks ultimately failed on 11 February 2019.
On 12 February 2019, Otzma Yehudit entered talks with the Jewish Home party to reach an agreement on a joint list.
On 15 February 2019, Tkuma and the Jewish Home party agreed to a form a list again, with Tkuma getting every other seat on the list.
On 19 February 2019, it was reported that negotiations between Otzma Yehudit and the Jewish Home were deadlocked.
On 20 February 2019, both Otzma Yehudit and the Jewish Home agreed to terms to form a list, after Netanyahu had promised the Jewish Home ministerial positions in exchange for uniting with Otzma Yehudit. In order to facilitate this deal, Netanyahu also gave Jewish Home candidate Eli Ben-Dahan a position on the Likud party list, and formed a surplus-vote agreement between Likud and the URWP.
