In anticipation of the 2009 Knesset elections, Eretz Yisrael Shelanu, led by Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpo and Jewish Front, led by Baruch Marzel merged together, of which Ariel Zilber, a Jewish Israeli musician, Shalom Dov-Wolpo and Baruch Marzel, co-founders of Eretz Israel Shelanu topped. In the weeks prior to the election, the joint list agreed to run as part of the National Union list, with Michael Ben-Ari, representative of Jewish National Front, taking the 4th spot on the alliance's list. The Union won four seats, allowing Ben-Ari, a follower of Kahanism to enter the Knesset.
