Background edit

The faction was formed on 23 March 1999, during the 14th Knesset, when Centre Party MK Eliezer Sandberg broke away from his party and established a single-member parliamentary group.

However, the faction was short-lived, as a week after its creation, Sandberg joined the Shinui group. He was later part of a group that broke away to form Secular Faction and then National Home, which merged into Likud.
