The party was founded as 'New Hope' on December 8, 2020 by Gideon Sa'ar after he left Likud. In the 2022 election it ran as part of the joint 'National Unity' list with Benny Gantz. On March 12, 2024 Sa'ar left with his faction and formed an independent faction, 'The United Right' (HaYamin HaMamlachti). On March 13, 2025 an agreement was signed on a future merger with Likud. · Source ↗

Party members · 5

Members who resigned or were replaced during the term appear faded and marked ✕, in their original place on the list - so you can see who was actually elected. Any further gap from the number of seats is explained by the Norwegian Law (a minister gives up their Knesset seat so the next candidate on the list can enter): the minister is still shown here as a key public figure, next to the MK who took their seat.
