HaTnuah (Hebrew: התנועה, lit. The Movement) is a political party in Israel headed by Tzipi Livni. The party was formed by dissidents of Kadima, a party which Livni had led until March 2012.[4]
History
Following its late 2012 founding, the party was criticised in the media as ineffective and capping its seat gain for the 2013 Knesset elections to six seats.[5][6] However, Livni's former party Kadima was unlikely to cross the two percent threshold to enter the Knesset. Though Ynet published a poll on 30 November 2011 that showed Labor's Shelly Yachimovich was less favourable as Prime Minister than Benjamin Netanyahu, Livni was slightly more favoured.[7] Yachimovich had also criticised Livni for forming the party in the previous hopes of gaining a united front for the centre-left parties.[8]
Knesset members
The party currently has 6 MKs:[9]
