However, after becoming a Minister without Portfolio, he left Telem and established the Movement for the Renewal of Social Zionism as a Knesset faction on 6 June 1983 by Minister, following the break-up of (its other member, Yigael Hurvitz, refounded Rafi – National List).[1]
The party failed to cross the electoral threshold in the 1984 elections and subsequently disappeared. Ben-Porat moved on, joining Likud in 1988.
