Representatives of the "World Confederation of United Zionists" slate have recently signed a long-term agreement with "Tnuat Hamerkaz Haliberalit Hanoar Hatzioni," which officially revived the "Kol Israel – General Zionists" faction in the World Zionist Congress. The agreement, signed by faction chair David Yaari and honorary chair Nisan Cialik, provides the two slates with a combined presence of 33 delegates, the faction said in a statement.

"The reunification of the two parties comes at a critical time for the Zionist movement and is a revival of the General Zionist vision," Yaari said. "At a time when Zionism is losing relevance with the next generation and has become even more politicized into narrower interest groups, there is a need for a party in the center that can engage global Jewry to strengthen their connection with Israel."
The World Zionist Congress is an elective body that represents the Jewish communities around the world and serves as the World Zionist Organization's higher constitutive and decision-making body. The Congress outlines the WZO's policy, elects representatives to sit in its different institutions, and sets the course for the global Zionist movement.
