United Religious Front

Founded in 1949


The United Religious Front (Hazit Datit Meuhedet), a list that ran in the elections for the First Knesset, was a union of  two religious Zionist parties—Mizrahi and HaPoel HaMizrahi—and two ultra-Orthodox parties—Agudat Yisrael and Poalei Agudat Yisrael. The list won 16 seats and was a coalition partner in the two first governments of Israel, in which it had three Ministers.
