Lev (political party)

Lev (political party)

:"For the contemporary party headed by Ovadia Fatkhov, see Lev LaOlim"Lev ( _he. לב, "Heart") was an extremely short-lived political faction in Israel, existing for only several minutes during the 15th Knesset in 2002.

Background

After Ariel Sharon formed a coalition government with the Centre Party in 2001 following his victory in the special election for Prime Minister, speculation started that Centre Party MK Roni Milo intended to return to Likud.

Eventually just Milo and Yehiel Lasry broke away from Centre Party, briefly forming the Lev faction which merged into Likud after only a few minutes in existence. Three other Centre Party MKs left and formed New Way, which later merged into Labour.
