The '''Ittihad Party''' or '''Union Party''' ("Ettihad Party", {{lang-ar|حزب الاتحاد}}, ''Hizb al-Ittihad'') was a right-wing political party active in the [[Kingdom of Egypt]].

The party was founded by a group of ''[[ulama]]s'' with [[royalist]] and [[islamist]] ideas that legitimized the Sir [[Lee Stack]]'s assassination in 1924. This group was composed also by young future political leaders like [[Muhammad Hamid Abu al-Nasr]] and [[Aly Maher Pasha]].<ref name=Re-Envisioning>{{cite book|author1=Goldschmidt, Arthur|author2=Johnson,Amy J.|title=Re-Envisioning Egypt 1919–1952|publisher=Hardcover|date=1 August 2005}}</ref> The ideological values were entrencheds in the Egyptian "traditional" culture. The party was gather in the [[Al-Azhar Mosque]].
The Ittihad was financially supported by King [[Fuad I of Egypt|Fuad I]] and [[Secret Intelligence Service|British agents]], that trusted that the Ittihad would have destabilized the activities of the left-wing [[political radicalism|radicals]]. Nevertheless, the Ittihad failed in his goal of built a conservative party, due to his religious views. Its platform was composed mainly by teachers, farmers, [[ulama]]s and [[imam]]s.

The party program was:<ref name=Re-Envisioning/>

*Monopoly over the distribution of public and private endowments
*Creation of the [[Ministry of Awqaf (Egypt)|Awqaf]]
*Strong [[social values]] and [[solidarity]]
*[[Anti-Western sentiment|Anti-Western]] policies

After this alliance, the Ittihad became mostly active against [[Copts]], and refused the [[French Revolution]], reputed as anarchy, supported a strong [[authoritarian]] state.<ref name=Whidden>{{cite book|author=James Whidden|title=Monarchy and Modernity in Egypt: Politics, Islam and Neo-Colonialism Between the Wars|publisher=I.B.
