Likud הליכוד

Led by Benjamin Netanyahu · 23 projected seats · running for Prime Minister

Israel's dominant right-wing party since 1977. Runs on security credentials, a hawkish regional posture and continued leadership under its long-serving chairman. Its 2026 list came out of a primary on 17 August that pushed the ministers May Golan, Idit Silman and Avi Dichter off realistic slots and left Ze'ev Elkin at 32.

The list, who comes with them

How this list is picked. Likud chooses most of its list in a primary of party members: each voter picks a slate of names for the national list and one for their own district, and the party's rules hand fixed places to the districts and to representation slots. The party leader fills a set of reserved places, with the secretariat's approval. The list also carries New Hope's registration alongside Likud's own; New Hope has had no institutions or platform of its own since folding into Likud, so it is not shown as a faction.
