	Renewed Religious National Zionist party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party was led by Ephraim Eitam and joined by Yitzhak Levi for a total of two seats in the Knesset.
		The split occurred after Eitam was suspended as chairman of the party; it failed to approve his suggestion to unite with National Union in order to form one large right-national, Religious Zionist party.
		Eitam and Levi originally named their party "the Religious Zionist" (הציונות הדתית), but due to objections by Mafdal that the name is too broad, a discussion at the party registrar resulted in the party being named as the Connection Party (סיעת התחברות).

		Ephraim Eitam (Efi Fine) - was the head of Mafdal, former general in the IDF.
		Ephraim Eitam was the Minister of Housing and Zvulon Orlev was the Minister of Labor and Welfare.
		Because Eitam was the current leader of the Mafdal, and Levy was his predecessor until his 2002 election as party head, the top tier leadership of the party is therefore currently leaving, and left behind was the pragmatic arm led by Orlev that suffered in recent polls.

		Eitam believes that the latest round of violence with the Palestinians has not only taught Israelis that Oslo has failed, but has unified the Left and Right in across-the-board opposition to the return of Palestinian refugees.
		Eitam left the IDF last December, after it was made clear to him that he would not be promoted to the General Staff.
		Eitam became religious during his military career, and was one of the few generals to wear a kippa.

		Eitam told the media that following the prime minister’s interview, he was contacted by many rabbis and deans of IDF preparatory yeshiva programs, all expressing concerns regarding the timing of the prime minister’s remarks as the nation is in a state of war.
		Eitam was called upon by Olmert to act as a go-between, seeking to allay fears and repair the damage resulting from his interview.
		Eitam admits that the plan will be problematic at some time in the future, after the war, but for now, the nation must remain united behind the government while efforts continue to eliminate the Hizbullah threat.

		In terms of the distance between the average self-labeling of the public and its perception of the location of the main political leaders, the ones closest to the average labeling of the public are Ben-Eliezer and, slightly behind him, Ariel Sharon.
		Regarding the leaders of the right in general (Effi Eitam, Benjamin Netanyahu, Sharon) on the one hand and the leaders of the left (Sarid, Mitzna, Ramon, and Ben-Eliezer) on the other, the right wing group's distance from the average location of the public is smaller than the left wing group's distance from that average.
		As expected, the extremes are represented by Eitam (an average of 1.90) on the right and Sarid (an average of 9.21) on the left.

	Israel retreats from Arafat siege
		As the standoff wore on, the U.S. government pressured the Israelis to retreat, fearing that a confrontation would undermine U.S. efforts to line up support in the Middle East and Europe for a war on Iraq.
		Ephraim Eitam--a leader of the racist National Religious Party and a member of Sharon’s cabinet--summed up the "disappointment" felt by right-wing extremists in Israel.
		In fact, the Israeli military still hasn’t withdrawn from Palestinian cities that it retook in recent months--in violation of a United Nations resolution passed last weekend calling for this in addition to an end to the siege.

		Orlev is the one who oiled the wheels of the machine that made someone like Eitam king of the party.
		Now Orlev is a member of the inside circle around someone worse than Jean Marie le Pen, who would never dare speak like Eitam about foreigners in his country, or, like a Pinochet, propose to put a bullet in an enemy's head in some forest.
		After 1967, the messianic elements began to strengthen in the NRP, led by Rabbi Kook's son, and began a process of corruption, leading up to a point at which, by now, Eitam is already referring to himself in messianic terms.

	Israel ends Arafat siege, licks political wounds
		The about-face followed a message by U.S. President George W. Bush to Sharon demanding a speedy end to a siege the United States apparently feared could raise regional tensions and hurt its efforts to win international support for war on Iraq.
		"We correctly preferred to give a boost to the matter of an American attack on the Iraqis over something we can always do later," said Ephraim Eitam, an ultranationalist member of Israel's cabinet.
		But Bush's rare rebuke appeared to signal a new dynamic in Sharon's close relationship with the president and in the prime minister's policy towards the Palestinians, who have accused the White House of turning a blind eye to Israeli army clampdowns.
