TheMovement for Greater Israel (Hebrew:התנועה למען ארץ ישראל השלמה,HaTnu'a Lema'an Eretz Yisrael HaSheleima), also known as theLand of Israel Movement, was a political organisation inIsrael during the 1960s and 1970s which subscribed to an ideology ofGreater Israel.
The organisation was formed in July 1967, a month after Israel captured theGaza Strip, theSinai Peninsula, theWest Bank, and theGolan Heights in theSix-Day War. It called on the Israeli government to keep the captured areas and to settle them withJewish populations. Its founders were a mixture ofLabor Zionists,Revisionists, writers and poets, includingNathan Alterman,Aharon Amir,Haim Gouri,Rachel Yanait Ben-Zvi,Yitzhak Tabenkin,Yitzhak Zuckerman,Zivia Lubetkin,Eliezer Livneh,Moshe Shamir,Shmuel Katz,Zev Vilnay,Uri Zvi Greenberg,Shmuel Yosef Agnon,Isser Harel,Israel Eldad,Dan Tolkovsky andAvraham Yoffe.
In the1969 Knesset elections it ran as the "List for the Land of Israel", but earned only 7,561 votes (0.6%), and failed to cross the electoral threshold of 1%. Prior to the1973 elections, it joined theLikud, an alliance ofHerut, theLiberal Party, theFree Centre and theNational List.[1] Likud won 39 seats, of which one was allocated to the Movement for Greater Israel, and taken by Avraham Yoffe.
In 1976 it merged with the National List and theIndependent Centre (a breakaway from the Free Centre) to formLa'am, which remained a faction within Likud until its merger into Herut in 1984. Two of its members, Moshe Shamir andZvi Shiloah, later became Knesset members for Likud andTehiya.[2][3]
