The Democratic Union (Hebrew: המחנה הדמוקרטי, romanized: HaMaḥaneh HaDemokrati, lit. 'The Democratic Camp') was a liberal-left-wing political alliance in Israel formed between Meretz, Israel Democratic Party, Labor defector Stav Shaffir,[3] and the Green Movement[4] that ran in the September 2019 Israeli legislative election.[5] On 19 December 2019, Labor defector Stav Shaffir and her party, the Green Movement, announced a press conference in which she would leave the alliance to run independently in the 2020 Israeli legislative election.[6] The Democratic Union initially announced on 7 January 2020 that it will run in the 2020 election, this time including Meretz and Democratic Choice.[7]
On 13 January 2020, it was announced that a new Labor-Gesher-Meretz slate had been formed for the 2020 election,[8] excluding Shaffir, but including Yair Golan in a reserved Meretz slot.[9]
