==History==
[[File:Yamina logo.svg|thumb|right|Logo until 2021]]
On 21 July 2019, after not making it past the electoral threshold in the [[April 2019 Israeli legislative election]], New Right leader [[Naftali Bennett]] decided to give leadership of the party to [[Ayelet Shaked]]. In her opening leadership speech, Shaked declared that she will seek to unite with the [[Union of Right-Wing Parties]] (URWP) and other right-wing parties.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/taking-reins-from-bennett-shaked-urges-right-wing-slates-to-unite-beneath-her/|title=Taking reins from Bennett, Shaked urges right-wing slates to unite beneath her|work=[[The Times of Israel]]|access-date=15 January 2019|date=21 July 2019|author=Jacob Magid}}</ref>
The following day, negotiations with the URWP began. The negotiations initially stalled, as URWP leader [[Rafi Peretz]] was unwilling to concede leadership of the list to Shaked, and disagreements arose over how many spots each of the three involved parties would receive on the list. Another subject that arose in the negotiations was whether the radical former URWP member [[Otzma Yehudit]] should be included in the new joint list.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/extremist-otzma-yehudit-still-seeking-merger-with-united-right-as-deadline-nears/|title=Extremist Otzma Yehudit still seeking merger with United Right as deadline nears|website=[[The Times of Israel]]|language=en|access-date=5 August 2019|date=1 August 2019|author=Raoul Wootliff}}</ref>
[[Sara Netanyahu]] (the wife of the former prime minister) was recorded speaking with Rafi Peretz' wife, Michal Peretz, in an attempt to convince Peretz to retain his number one slot on the list; she was unsuccessful. It was also revealed that [[Benjamin Netanyahu]] was involved (despite his denial).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/leaked-recordings-reveal-sara-netanyahus-efforts-to-sabotage-urwp-shaked-merger/|title=Leaked recordings reveal Sara Netanyahu's efforts to sabotage URWP-Shaked merger|website=[[The Times of Israel]]|language=en|access-date=29 July 2019|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->}}</ref> The URWP and the New Right agreed to a joint run on 29 July 2019, with the New Right's [[Ayelet Shaked]] leading the joint list. As part of the agreement, the alliance declared that they would negotiate together to establish a right-wing government under Benjamin Netanyahu.<ref name = UR1>{{Cite web|url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/266645|title=New Right, United Right reach final agreement on joint run|website=Arutz Sheva|language=en|access-date=29 July 2019|date=29 July 2019|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->}}</ref>
On 22 April 2020, it was reported that Bennett was now "considering all options" for Yamina's political future, including departing from Netanyahu's government, which had just agreed to form a joint government with leader of the opposition Blue and White party [[Benny Gantz]], and joining the opposition. Bennett was reported to be unhappy with the new coalition government's decision to hold back on the issue of [[judicial reform]].<ref name=judicialrestraint>{{cite news|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-to-meet-with-yamina-heads-as-party-considers-joining-unity-government/|title=Netanyahu speaks with Bennett as Yamina considers joining unity government|first=Raoul|last=Wootliff|publisher=[[The Times of Israel]]|date=22 April 2020|access-date=22 April 2020}}</ref>

{{Conservatism in Israel}}
Ayelet Shaked listed 11 principles that the Yamina list is determined to uphold:<ref name = URP>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/ayelet.benshaul.shaked/posts/2275277012590712|title=אנחנו בימין המאוחד מחויבים, בראש ובראשונה, לציבור בישראל ולערכי הימין.|website=Facebook|language=he|access-date=5 August 2019|date=8 August 2019|author=Ayelet Shaked}}</ref>
#'''Jewish Identity:''' We will work to strengthen the [[Jewish identity]] of the [[State of Israel]], and to strengthen the connection of Israeli students to the [[Torah]], the [[Land of Israel]], and the Jewish religious heritage.
#'''Nationality:''' We will act for the implementation of the [[Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People|Nation-state Law]] and the prevention of any harm to it, while continuing to ensure individual rights and equality for all Israeli citizens.
#'''Unity of the land:''' We are the only party that opposes the establishment of a [[Palestinian state]] and any withdrawal from the territories of the Land of Israel. We will work to develop [[Israeli settlements|settlements]] throughout the country.
#'''Sovereignty:''' We will act for the full and equitable application of [[national sovereignty]] and the [[rule of law]] to all citizens and residents of Israel, including the end of the [[Israeli Civil Administration|military administration of West Bank]] and the application of Israeli sovereignty to the [[Israeli-occupied West Bank]].
#'''Determination against terror''': We will defeat [[terrorism]] with determination and without compromise, we will defeat [[Gaza Strip|Gaza]] border terrorism and end the allowances paid to terrorists by the [[Palestinian Authority]]. We will bring back the corpses of [[Israeli Defense Force|IDF]] soldiers and charge a price from [[Hamas]] for its actions, with total resistance to the release of imprisoned terrorists. We will act to assist disabled IDF veterans and the victims of the conflict.
#'''Aliyah:''' We will work towards the implementation of a national [[Aliyah]] policy, which will promote Jewish immigration and remove unnecessary barriers to immigration. We will prevent illegal immigration of migrant workers to Israel and prevent the abuse of family re-unification policies.
#'''Competition and liberty:''' We will promote competition to break up [[monopolies]] and [[cartels]], open the economy to international competition, and reduce [[central planning]] in the economy. We will promote competition in the housing market, release land for construction, and implement taxation policies that will spur development. We will streamline regulation, reduce the regulatory burden on employers, which will encourage employment and productivity, and create a comfortable environment for a [[sharing economy]] and the [[high tech]] industry.
#'''Right to work:''' We will reform the labor law so that unions can only represent all workers in a workplace if they have a majority of its workers unionized. We will implement mandatory government arbitration to solve labor disputes in essential government services and increase transparency in labor organizations.
#'''Governability:''' We will strengthen the values of governability and democracy. We will strengthen the status of the [[Knesset]] as a legislative authority and restore confidence in the [[Supreme Court of Israel|Supreme Court]] as the judicial authority, in accordance with the law. We will strengthen the status of elected officials in the face of the un-elected bureaucracy.
#'''Social responsibility:''' We will enact economic and medical protection for the disabled and the elderly, while integrating people with disabilities in education, society, and the labor market.
#'''Galilee and the Negev:''' We will strengthen [[the Galilee]] and [[the Negev]] with additional employment opportunities, housing, health care, tourism, culture, and transport. We will encourage capital investment and private initiatives that will strengthen human capital and allow families to settle and remain in the Galilee and the Negev. We will strengthen [[agriculture]] and the [[Kibbutz|Labor settlements]].
Alongside these united principles, each party retains its own independent platform. Thus, the New Right represents the more "liberal" Religious and Secular right, The Jewish Home represents "mainstream" [[Religious Zionism]], while Tkuma represents the more hawkish and [[Hardal|Chardal]] Religious Zionists.
