Likud Party

The Likud Party is a major political party in Israel, founded in 1973. It is generally associated with right-wing and conservative ideologies, advocating for free-market economics, strong national defense, and a tough stance on security issues, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Likud emphasizes maintaining Israeli control over disputed territories and prioritizes Jewish settlement in areas like the West Bank. The party has produced several notable leaders, including Benjamin Netanyahu, who has served multiple terms as Prime Minister. Likud plays a central role in Israeli politics and often forms coalitions with other right-leaning parties to govern.
