The party was formed in August 2023, when the Religious Zionist Party and The Jewish Home parties agreed to merge.

Maki (political Party)
The Communist Party of Israel, commonly known by its Hebrew abbreviation Maki (), is a communist political party in Israel that forms part of the political alliance known as Hadash. It was founded in 1965 as the New Communist List, or Rakah (), after a split in the original Maki. History Rakah was formed on 1 September 1965 due to internal disagreements in the original Maki, which was split between a largely Jewish and Zionist faction led by Moshe Sneh that was critical of the Soviet Union's anti-Zionist stance, and a largely Arab faction that was increasingly anti-Zionist. As a result, the pro-Arab/pro-Soviet faction (including Emile Habibi, Tawfik Toubi and Meir Vilner) left Maki to form a new party, Rakah, which the Soviet Union recognised as the "official" Communist Party. Shlomo Sand and Mahmoud Darwish were also Rakah activists. The Eurocommunist faction, led by Sneh, remained in Maki. It was reported in the Soviet media that the Mikunis–Sneh group defected t ...
