The opening as it read in 2005
Center Party ( Mifleget Hamerkaz ; מפלגת המרכז) was a splinter group formed as "Israel in the Center" in 1999 by former Defense Minister Itzhak Mordechai composed at that time of himself, David Magen/Monsonego, and Dan Meridor of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's ruling Likud Party, Knesset members Hagai Merom and Nissim Zvili of the Labour Party, and Eliezer Sandberg of the Likud's internal faction "Tzomet", the former party of Gen.1The aim of Mordechai's party was to create a group of moderates to challenge both Netanyahu on the right and opposition leader Ehud Barak 's Labour Party on the left.2Israel in the Center borrowed many of its themes from The Third Way, a group that split with the Labour Party in 1994 over rumours of negotiatons to return the Golan Heights. However, by 1999 The Third Way was a partner of the Likud government and had lost much of its public credit due to its small influence on Netanyahu. Mordechai, who was less hawkish then Netanyahu, wanted further progress in the Oslo Accords, and clashed with the prime minister and other members of his cabinet. Though few of the new party's positions were original, it was considered impossible for Mordechai to break with the Likud in any other way, as joining the Labour Party would mean taking the passenger seat to Ehud Barak, who was far more hated by Mordechai than Netanyahu. The joining of Dan Meridor was one of the best events of the early days of the party. One of the Likud's younger and more professional members, Meridor had a solid record as minister of justice from 1988 until 1992, was the son of Irgun resistance member and later Knesset member Yakov Meridor, and was a civilian counterballance to Mordechai.3
