Re-elected to the 15th Knesset in May 1999, he served as chairman of the Likud following the resignation of Benjamin Netanyahu. In a special election for Prime Minister in February 2001,
The Likud (Union) was formed by the joining together of Free Center, Laam and Gahal in preparation for the 1973 elections, and since then has become one of Israel's major conservative parties. It is the largest right wing party, and is considered moderately right wing. Since 1973, the Likud has either been the ruling party in the Knesset or the leading opposition party. Likud was in power from 1996 until 1999 when Netanyahu lost to Ehud Barak and again since February 2001 when Ariel Sharon won the Prime Ministerial Election.

Likud Platform
Peace Process
· The Likud will seek to achieve peace and permanent borders in the framework of peace treaties between Israel and its neighbors and will seek cooperation with them on the practical level. The peace agreements will include full diplomatic relations, borders open to free movement, economic cooperation, and the establishment of joint projects in the fields of science, technology, tourism, and industry. Ariel Sharon has expressed readiness to make substantial concessions for peace, but is being pressured from the right wing to align more strongly with their views.
· The Arab states' desire for peace will be measured by their efforts to prevent hostile activities by terrorist organizations from their territory and to dismantle the infrastructure of the organizations.
· Israel will conduct peace negotiations with Syria, while maintaining Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and its water resources.
· Likud maintains a general principle of negotiability in bilateral negotiations for peace, but opposes territorial compromise.
Pluralism
· The status quo regarding religion and state will not be undermined. Although Likud is willing to try and meet the needs of the religious communities.
· "We shall have to ease tensions between the secular and religious, Arab and Jew, Diaspora Jews and Israelis. The intensity of these tensions is often exaggerated, but they do exist. They should be ameliorated through dialogue and compromise, not judicial coercion, abrasive legislation and offensive rhetoric..."
Social and Economic Policy
· The guiding principles of the economic policy will be: Accelerated growth; full employment; extensive domestic and foreign investments and absorption of immigrants into the labor force. Wide ranging reforms in public health, education and welfare.
Aliyah and Immigration
· The government will set a goal of having seven million Jews in Israel within the next decade. The government will prepare the country to absorb Jews, both new immigrants and returning citizens, viewing this not only as a national undertaking but as strengthening Israel economically and culturally.
Palestinian Issue
· The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of Self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration and Ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with Imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs.
Jerusalem
· Jerusalem is the eternal, united capital of the State of Israel and only of Israel.
· Likud will reject Palestinian proposals to divide Jerusalem and firmly rejects attempts to question Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital.
Foreign Policy
· Israel's foreign policy will serve its security interests and the hope for peace and economic prosperity. Expanding economic ties will be a main task of the Foreign Ministry. Israel will continue to view its relations with the United States as the cornerstone of its foreign policy, with ties between the two countries grounded in shared values of freedom, justice, and democracy.
Likud card
A Jewish State Vs. state for all citizens | Israel is a Jewish state, and therefore it's religion should be Jewish. That prioritises over "state for all citizens". Therefore, the law of return regards the Jews only. Others will have some civil rights too, but that will not affect the nature of the state. |
Separate state & Church | Likud believes in retaining the status quo, which means keeping the religious issues as they are. Therefore, the marriage and devorce for Jews in Israel will go by the Jewish law, the kashrus Jewish laws will remain, there will be no public transport on Shabbat, etc. |
Dismantling settlements | The Likud not only opposes to dismantling of settlements, but actively advocates increasing the population of the Jewish communities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Prime minister Sharon's opinion is more to the left of his party, and he has said that he is ready for painful compromises with desmantling settlements. |
National Priorities | Likud party has a mixture of sephardic and ashkenazi members, but is the party which is identified with the underpriveleged segments of society, many who are sephardic. It has strong support from poorer families, sephardic families, development towns and the population "who shops at the markets". On the Likud's agenda is to serve these populations and strive to close the gap between the various socio-economic groups. Also, the Likud will prioritise the settlements and provide the settlers with budgets. |
