Likud

Likud voted against a bill to establish a state commission of inquiry and advanced an alternative in which the appointment mechanism is not controlled by the President of the Supreme Court. The party line therefore rejects the precise appointment mechanism in the statement.

Senior Likud figures advanced the Levin–Sa’ar framework, which would bar review of Basic Laws and restrict the invalidation of ordinary laws. The Likud-led government also enacted the curtailment of the reasonableness standard and announced in July 2026 that it would not comply with a ruling concerning the media regulator.

Likud opposed limiting a prime minister’s tenure, arguing that in a parliamentary democracy the decision should remain with the public.

In the 2026 budget, the Netanyahu government again approved billions of shekels in earmarked coalition allocations, and Likud’s agreements with Shas and United Torah Judaism embedded such allocations in advance. This is a direct pattern of conduct that conflicts with abolishing them across the board, even at the cost of overriding existing agreements.

Likud members, including those who joined it through the merger, voted for the law allowing the government to depart from the Attorney General’s legal opinion. The vote directly covers the current party.

Netanyahu presented a civilian administration that would be run by neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority, as part of an international plan. This is an explicit position by the Likud chair on the subject of the statement.

Netanyahu stated that Israel would retain security responsibility and a security perimeter around Gaza for the foreseeable future, while the same plan defined an alternative civilian administration. This directly covers the security-control component after civilian government is established.

Netanyahu pledged that there would be no Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. This is an explicit and current position by the Likud chair against the diplomatic horizon described in the statement.

In a direct survey, Likud answered that it would vote for a law applying sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). The commitment is broader still than applying sovereignty to Area C.

No current official Likud position was found on opening every combat and command role to women under uniform professional criteria. Statements by individual members do not add up to a party line.

A current split remains inside Likud: Netanyahu rejected renewed Gaza settlement, while Likud ministers and MKs joined a July 2026 march calling for settlements in the Strip. No later party decision resolves the contradiction.

Likud members, together with those who joined it in the merger, voted for the law on its third reading. The law does exactly what the statement describes.

The coalition policy led by Likud does not impose universal mandatory military or civilian service with only narrow exemptions.

The Likud-led coalition majority passed a freeze on the arrest of people liable for conscription, while Yuli Edelstein, Dan Illouz, and Sharren Haskel voted against it. Following the merger, this is a current split among members within Likud.

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana voted for a civil-marriage bill, and Dan Illouz defended him in the name of Likud’s national-liberal tradition; most of the parliamentary group and the coalition commitment, by contrast, maintained the status quo. This is a direct, current split within Likud, with no uniform party position.

All 29 Likud members and the three members of the United Right voted for the law permitting such arbitration with the parties’ consent.

The Likud-led government decided in November 2025 to oppose a bill empowering local authorities to operate public transport on Shabbat.

The Likud-led government approved funding for Shas’s education network without requiring a core curriculum, directly contrary to the condition in the statement. This is an act of the government and coalition, not a provision in a new election platform.

Likud opposed advancing a Basic Law that would expressly enshrine equality and prohibit discrimination.

Likud rejected a coalition partnership with Arab parties. This is the current public line of the merged party.

No current Likud line was found that resolves whether to increase the tax burden specifically on high earners in order to expand social services.

In 2026, Economy Minister Nir Barkat sought to add matzah to the basket of price-controlled goods after unusually high profitability was found. This is a current, targeted action, but not a provision in the party platform.

The Likud-led government opened quotas and reduced tariffs in some food sectors, while also making food security and strengthening domestic production a policy objective. This is a conditional position that does not accept across-the-board harm to farmers as the price of the policy.

A large majority of Likud members and those who joined it supported using only the mother’s employment as the test, but Likud’s Dan Illouz voted against it. A current internal disagreement therefore exists.

In the roll-call vote on the $130 order, eight Likud members voted against and four voted in favor. No new party decision was reached, so an internal disagreement exists.

Defense Minister Israel Katz ended the use of administrative detention against Jews, and clarified in July 2026 that the policy remained in force, even while leaving open the exceptional use of other administrative tools. The statement is limited to administrative detention, so the position here is direct and clear.

Likud supported the restrictive temporary provision and its subsequent strengthening, rather than moving to individual assessment of every application.

In January 2026, the coalition and most of the Likud parliamentary group defeated the prohibition bill, while Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana of Likud voted for it. This is a direct, current split within Likud.

The Likud-led government shifted the center of gravity to assistance from the Shin Bet, police, and emergency measures, and also diverted civilian budgets. Its activity nevertheless includes some civilian components.

Likud committed to abolishing the congestion charge, and Transportation Minister Miri Regev reiterated her opposition to implementing it even as implementation continued.
