HaOlim

HaOlim

HaOlim ( _he. העולים, lit. "The Immigrants") was a short-lived one-man political faction in Israel.

Background

The faction was formed when Yigal Yasinov broke away from Shinui towards the end of the 16th Knesset's term following the party's split into Shinui and the Secular Faction.

Soon after its establishment, Yasinov joined the the Russian-immigrant dominated Yisrael Beiteinu faction of the National Union and The Immigrants was disbanded. Yasinov himself had immigrated from the Ukraine in 1993 and had joined Shinui rather than Yisrael Beiteinu after being refused permission to buy a house by settlers during the 1990s, an episode which led to a dislike of the National Religious Party.

Yasinov was placed 14th on the party's list, but failed to retain his place in the Knesset as it won only 11 seats.
