For the 2003 Knesset elections Yamin Israel allied itself to Herut – The National Movement. Shifrin won fifth place on the alliance's Knesset list, but it failed to cross the electoral threshold. For the 2006 elections the party formed an alliance with the Jewish National Front with Shifrin sixth on the alliance's list. It too failed to cross the electoral threshold.
