The National Union faction formed a negotiating team on Sunday to discuss forming a joint faction that could run together with the National Religious Party in the next election. NRP chairman Zevulun Orlev said he was doubtful that the parties would end up running together, despite polls indicating that it could yield more mandates. The National Union faction decided on Sunday that if they do not run together with the NRP, their list will be headed by MK Benny Elon followed by MKs Zvi Hendel, Effi Eitam, Yitzhak Levy, Uri Ariel and Aryeh Eldad. Eldad threatened to quit the faction because of his low placement.More about:National Union (Israel), Knesset, National Religious Party, Zevulun Orlevfunction initServerVars() { _headup.clientHost = 'http://newstopics.jpost.com'; _headup.termsFromServer = 'National Union$$Knesset$$National Religious Party$$Zevulun Orlev$$Aryeh Eldad$$Zvi Hendel$$Effi Eitam$$Benny Elon$$Uri Ariel$$Eldad$$NRP'; _headup.annotatedTerms = ['dbpedia:National_Union_%28Israel%29$$1', 'dbpedia:National_Religious_Party$$1'] _headup.widgetMode = 'snippet'; _headup.snippetButtonStyle = 'banner'; _headup.blackListedUrl = false; } <!-- Terms Count: 11 TTL: 60 Terms From Server: National Religious Party, National Union, Zevulun Orlev, Aryeh Eldad, Zvi Hendel, Effi Eitam, Benny Elon, Uri Ariel, Knesset, Eldad, NRP DateTime: 6/2/2011 8:00:47 AM -->
