About the party
Likud: a list for the 26th Knesset with 120 candidates. The scores rest on the record of 38 of the candidates in previous Knessets. Plenum votes on bills are included up to 28 July 2026, and committee discussions up to 24 March 2026.
Likud is a party founded in 1973 as a bloc of Gahal, the State List, the Free Center and the Movement for Greater Israel, and unified in 1988 into a single party under the name "Likud, National Liberal Movement". Benjamin Netanyahu has headed it since 2005, and previously headed it from 1993 to 1999. In the election for the 25th Knesset in 2022 it won 32 seats. In March 2025, a merger agreement was signed with New Hope, headed by Gideon Sa'ar, which the Likud Central Committee approved on 13 August 2025. The formal merger was not completed, and on 14 July 2026 it was agreed that the two parties would run on a joint list. The list, which was submitted on 8 September 2026, opens with Netanyahu, followed by Eli Cohen, Amir Ohana, Yariv Levin and Miri Regev. Sa'ar appears at No. 7.
