In the 2009 elections, the Meretz came under Oron's leadership under the name New Movement - Meretz and was supported by leading Israeli intellectuals such as Amos Oz and former Avoda politicians such as Schlomo Ben Ami , Uzi Baram and Avraham Burg , but lost two seats and since then has only been represented by three members of the Knesset.
