Moledet, Moledet

It advocates the notion of voluntary transfer of the Arab population of the West Bank. Moledet was founded in 1988 by Rehavam Ze'evi, who headed it until his murder by members of the PFLP in 2001, after which Rabbi Benny Elon was elected as chairman. In 1999, Moledet allied with Herut The National Movement and Tkuma to form the National Union (, Ihud Leumi ).

In contrast to Kach and the ideas of Rabbi Meir Kahane, Moledet only advocates voluntary transfer.

As political tensions in Israel got worse—and possibly because Moledet, then part of the National Union, was not so clearly associated with the notion of transfer—Moledet finally joined the coalition in 2001. Zeevi was made Minister of Tourism and served until his assassination in 2001, after which Elon replaced him. Elon was dismissed in mid-2004 due to his opposition to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza disengagement plan.
