Akhva (Hebrew: אחווה, Brotherhood) was a short-lived political party in Israel, one of several spinoffs created by the collapse of Dash.
[edit] Background
Akhva was formed in 1980 when two MKs (Shafik Asaad and Shlomo Eliahu) broke away from the Democratic Movement, itself a relatively new party, having been formed in 1978 when Dash split up (also creating Shinui and Ya'ad). They were later joined by Akiva Nof, also from the Democratic Movement.
However, like its two immediate predecessors, Akhva also suffered from instability. Asaad left the party to join Telem (another newly formed party), whilst Nof defected to Likud. By the end of the Knesset session in June 1981, only Eliahu remained in the party (though it had outlasted the Democratic Movement, which folded in March 1981).
The party failed to cross the electoral threshold of 1% in the 1981 elections and subsequently disappeared.
