Hitahdut HaIkarim (Hebrew: הִתְאַחֲדוּת האִכָּרים, lit. Farmers Federation) is a settlement movement for private farmers in Israel.
History
Hitahdut HaMoshavot BeYehuda VeShomron (Hebrew: התאחדות המושבות ביהודה ושומרון, Association of moshavot in Judea and Samaria) was founded in Yavne'el[citation needed] in 1920, making it the oldest agricultural organisation in Israel.[1] In 1927 it was expanded and renamed Hitahdut HaIkarim BeEretz Israel (Hebrew: התאחדות האיכרים בארץ ישראל, lit. Association of the Farmers in the Land of Israel).[citation needed] After Israeli independence it adopted its current name. The organisation was affiliated with the General Zionists,[citation needed] and later (as of 1985) with the Liberal Party.[2] It published the weekly Bustenai periodical in conjunction with the General Zionists between 1929 and 1939.[3]
Zionist leader Moshe Smilansky served as its president,[4] whilst Haim Ariav, a General Zionists member of the Knesset, served as its secretary.[5]
