The Independent Centre (Hebrew: המרכז העצמאי, HaMerkaz HaAtzma'i) was a political faction in Israel between 1974 and 1976.
History
The faction was established by Eliezer Shostak and Ehud Olmert in 1974 when they broke away from the Free Centre, a member of the Likud alliance. The new faction remained part of Likud.
In 1976 the Independent Centre merged with two other Likud factions, National List and the Movement for Greater Israel to form La'am, which became the third largest faction within Likud. It later formally merged in Herut, Likud's largest faction, in 1984. The Free Centre later broke away from Likud and joined the Democratic Movement for Change.
