the remainder of his term. In the run-up to the 1984 elections, he and Avraham Verdiger formed a new party, Morasha. It won two seats, taken by the two founders. Although the party joined the government, neither Drukman nor Verdiger were given cabinet posts. On 29 July 1986, Drukman left Morasha and returned to the NRP. While serving this tenure in the 11th Knesset, he was a member of the Knesset committee for Foreign Affairs and Defense and the subcommittee for the Examination of the Draft Exemption of Yeshiva Students. At the end of the term in 1988, he left the Knesset, choosing instead to express his political views from outside that body. Drukman returned to serve his final four-year term during the 15th Knesset from 1999 to 2003, again as a representative for the National Religious Party.

In 1993, while he was travelling in a car to nearby Kiryat Arba, a Palestinian man opened fire on his car, killing Drukman's driver, but failing to kill him. Although it was not clear that Drukman was specifically targeted, nevertheless, he was provided with Shin Bet protection until the threat level subsided. Drukman opposed the evacuation of Yamit in 1982, moving there temporarily with his family in order to make a political statement. He also protested against the Gaza disengagement in 2005.
