Neo-Zionism (Hebrew: ניאו-ציונות) is a far-right, ultranationalistic, and religious ideology that appeared in Israel following the Six-Day War in 1967 and the capture of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Neo-Zionists consider these lands part of Israel and advocate their settlement by Israeli Jews. Some advocate the transfer of Arabs not only from these areas but also from within the Green Line.

The term "Post-Zionism" entered Israeli discourse following the publishing of a book by Uri Ram in 1993.^[1] In the same volume, Gershom Shafir contrasted Post-Zionism with what he termed Neo-Zionism.^[2] In a widely cited 1996 essay, sociologist Uri Ram used the term Neo-Zionism to describe a political and religious ideology that developed in Israel following the 1967 Six-Day War.^{[3]: 18 [4]: 67 [5]: 218} He considers it as an "exclusionary, nationalist, even racist, and antidemocratic political-cultural trend" in Israel,^[6] and that it evolved in parallel with, and in opposition to, the left-wing politics of Post-Zionism and Labor Zionism.
