The Centre Party (Hebrew: מִפְלֶגֶת הַמֶרְכָּז translit. Mifleget Hamerkaz) originally known as Israel in the Centre was a short-lived political party in Israel. Formed in 1999 by former Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai the aim was to create a group of moderates to challenge both Binyamin Netanyahu on the right and opposition leader Ehud Barak’s Labour Party on the left.
