Parti Tkuma

The Israeli Tkuma political party, which translates to "Revival" in English, is a right-wing, religious Zionist political party in Israel. It was originally established in 1998 by members who broke away from the National Religious Party, aiming to…   represent a more hardline, nationalistic approach to both religious and Israeli territorial issues. Tkuma has been a proponent of the Jewish settlement movement in the West Bank and opposes the creation of a Palestinian state, advocating instead for the annexation of parts of the West Bank.<br /><br />The party's values are deeply rooted in religious Zionism, emphasizing the importance of Jewish law and tradition in the public and political life of Israel. Tkuma also prioritizes the security and territorial integrity of Israel, advocating for strong military and defense policies to protect Israeli citizens and interests. It supports the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, viewing them as both a strategic necessity and a fulfillment of Jewish historical and biblical claims to the land.<br /><br />Socially, Tkuma tends to hold conservative views, particularly on issues related to family, education, and religion. The party advocates for maintaining the Jewish character of the state, which includes promoting policies that reflect traditional Jewish values and norms. This includes opposition to civil marriage and any legal recognition of non-Orthodox conversions to Judaism, as well as resistance to legislative or social changes that would significantly alter the status quo regarding religious and state affairs.<br /><br />Tkuma has been part of various Israeli government coalitions, often allying with other right-wing and religious parties to advance its agenda. Its influence in the Israeli political landscape, while not always large in terms of seat count, has been significant in shaping policies related to settlements, national identity, and the role of religion in public life. Through its participation in coalitions, Tkuma has sought to ensure that the government's actions reflect its values, particularly regarding the preservation and expansion of Jewish settlements, the promotion of Jewish education and culture, and the defense of Israel's security interests.Baca lebih lanjut
