Party history:
Israel's Green Party was formed in 1997 immediately after the Maccabiah disaster and ran for municipal elections in Tel Aviv, winning two seats. The movement became a party in 1998 but did not reach the voting threshold, failing to win any Knesset seats. The same was true in the 2003 elections. In municipal elections, the party was able to send representatives to 15 local authorities. In Tel Aviv, the party doubled its strength to four council members.
