Ji'ud

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ji'ud ( Hebrew יעוד, German Mission ) was a political party in Israel in the mid-1990s .

The Ji'ud was founded on February 7, 1994, during the 13th legislative period . At that time, the three Knesset MPs Alex Goldfarb , Esther Salmovitz and Gonen Segev left the ultra-nationalist Tzomet party , which held conservative views on defense and foreign policy but acted liberally on domestic policy after falling out with its party leader Rafael Eitan . At a time when Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was looking for a majority in favor of the Oslo Accords , the Ji'ud party entered Rabin's government. Alex Goldfarb was born on 2 January 1995 Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing ( English Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction appointed) while Gonen Segev on 9 January 1995 Minister of Energy and Infrastructure (English Minister of Energy and Infrastructure ) was. The approval of Segev and his party colleague Goldfarb in the Knesset to the “Oslo B” agreement a few months later met with criticism in the media and the public: The Ji'ud party was accused of having been bribed with ministerial posts, and Segev was considered a "turning neck" ( Der Spiegel ) . After Rabin's murder on November 4, 1995, Ji'ud belonged to the subsequent government of Shimon Peres .

On November 27, 1995, Goldfarb and Salmovitz left the Ji'ud party to form the Atid party . From then on, Segev was the only Ji'ud party member in the Knesset. Goldfarb and Segev, who now belonged to different parties, held their ministerial offices until the end of the legislative period on June 18, 1996. As a result, the Ji'ud no longer took part in elections and disbanded.
