The opening as it read in 2005

Tehiya (Hebrew for "revival", תחיה), was a right-of-center Israeli political party founded in response to the 1978 Camp David Treaty between Egypt and Israel. It was formed in opposition to the surrender of the Sinai peninsula to Egypt, and the eviction of its Jewish residents. Led by a number well-known public and political figures (such as former Lehi member Geula Cohen , renowned for her arrest and escape from a Bethlehem prison in the 1940's ), the party broke away from the Likud and attempted to re-establish the secular "Land of Israel" movement which they felt had been betrayed by Menachem Begin 's surrender of the Sinai. Following Tehiya's rise on the Israeli political scene, two more political movement's; both religious but drawing much support from traditional and even secular voting blocks, stole much of Tehiya's thunder. In 1984 Shas , the religious and ostensibly right wing Sephardic party broke into the Knesset , drawing many votes from Likud. Over the next 15 years, Shas would continue its rise, often being viewed as a the popular alternative to corrupt establishment groups. The other movement, Kach , openly emphasized the Tehiya-style annexation policy for all lands liberated in 1967 , but also supported the expulsion of Arabs from the country to maintain a demographic balance. Tehiya, which supported annexation and military crack downs on the intifada, opposed Kach's policy of " transfer ", claiming that even with the Arab populations of Gaza and the West Bank , Israel did not face any demographic threat. Tehiya's argument proved weak in the eyes of Israeli voters, who favored Kach in the weeks leading up to the 1988 elections. Prior to its banning, Kach was expected to win approximately 13 seats (from 1 in 1984), taking many of them from Tehiya. Following the banning of Kach, and the subsequent death of secular right wing parties such as Gesher and Tzomet , Tehiya disappeared from the political scene. Its basic policies and secular right-wing outlook are best represented today by the Yisrael Beitenu faction, a member of the Ichud Leumi party, led by Avidgor Lieberman .1
