New Likud

The new Likud are an Israeli political association founded in November 2011 at the end of the social protest by Lior Meiri, an advertising man. The association operates as a party faction in the Likud, promotes liberal-Zionist values and supports the establishment of a coalition from the center of the political spectrum in Israel.

Movement Activities

The goal of the association is to invite a large number of people who believe in their values and in the values described in the Constitution of the Likud and to unite them in support of Knesset candidates who express positions that fit the agenda they wish to promote.

According to the new Likud in the primaries in December 2014, they numbered about 2,000 Likud members who had passed the qualifying period (16 months as members of the Likud), in February 2017 they numbered about 6,000 Likud members, and in June 2017,over 12,000 Likud members.

Ideology

The aim of the new Likud is to implement the goals chapter written in the Likud's constitution. Their claim is that the Constitution has been neglected by some of the Likud's leadership, especially the sections dealing with the preservation of moral values and integrity, ensuring the supremacy of the law, human rights and freedom, the value of equality and the establishment of a liberal economy and a free and competitive economy. In addition, the group's agenda emphasizes the separation of religion and state, the reduction of the power of workers' unions in the economy, a different education system in Israel that strives for democratic values, and the establishment of a constitution in Israel.

The group seeks to change the nature of the Likud to what they claim to be more compatible with the path of Menachem Begin and Ze'ev Jabotinsky, to fight behaviors that they perceive as anti-democratic and populist, and to replace it with a more liberal and state-oriented conduct.

The association does not deal with political issues, out of the belief that dealing with the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and security issues cause unnecessary division, even when there is agreement on other issues. The group believes that other important issues such as the Israeli economy should be focused on, and find the common denominator among the Zionist parties.
