LikudCoalition of Israeli right-wing political parties. It was created by the 1973 merger of the Herut Party (1948) and the Liberal Party (1961), which itself was a merger of the General Zionists and the Progressives. From the late 1970s Likud alternated in power with the Israel Labour Party. Likud generally was considered more skeptical than Labour of the peace process with the Palestinians and Israel's Arab neighbours, but when in power some Likud prime ministers made dramatic concessions on both fronts. Party leaders have included Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, and Ariel Sharon. See also Arab-Israeli wars; Irgun Zvai Leumi; Vladimir Jabotinsky. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Some very hardline Likudniks have been voted into the top 30 spots on the party's electoral list, which means under Israel's party list system, they are almost certain to get seats in the new Knesset. Either way, Olmert has come short, neither moving too far to the right to appease the Likudniks and the extreme right wing settler movement, nor making bold moves to engage the Palestinians in meaningful dialogue towards achieving common grounds for peace negotiations. |
