HaChasit haDatit haMe'uchedet ( Hebrew החזית הדתית המאוחדת, lit. United Religious Front ) was an electoral alliance of religious parties in Israel to run in the 1949 elections.

history

The four largest of the religious parties ( HaMisrachi , HaPo'el haMisrachi , Agudat Jisra'el and Poalei Agudat Jisra'el ) and the Association of Religious Independents united to form the electoral alliance .

The United Religious Front successfully participated in the first election after the Declaration of Independence on January 25, 1949. The electoral alliance won 16 seats in the first Knesset in the election and thus became the third largest parliamentary group in the Knesset after Mifleget Poalei Eretz Israel (Mapai) and Mapam . According to a key negotiated between the parties before the election, the HaPo'el haMisrachi received seven, HaMisrachi four, Poalei Agudat Jisra'el three and Agudat Jisra'el two seats in the Knesset.

The United Religious Front formed together with Mapai, Miflaga Progresivit (Progressive Party) and Sfaradim VeEdot Misrach (Sephardi and Communities of the Orient) the first coalition government of the new state, with David Ben-Gurion as Prime Minister . Due to differing views on religious education and the dissolution of the Ministry of Rationing and Supply, as well as the intended appointment of an entrepreneur as Minister of Trade and Industry , the United Religious Front left the government coalition on October 15, 1950. After the differences were resolved, on November 1, 1950, with the participation of the United Religious Front, the second government formed under the leadership of David Ben-Gurion. In the two coalition governments, Chaim-Moshe Schapira took over the Ministry of Health , Immigration and the Ministry of the Interior , Yehuda Leib Maimon the Ministry of Religion and Veterans, and Jitzhak-Meir Levin the Ministry of Welfare .

Before the elections in 1951 , the electoral alliance broke up and the alliance parties ran without partners.
