The New Government - Basic Policy Guidelines
Following the coalition agreement, the Knesset holds a session with a formal vote of confidence at which
the prime minister presents the new government’s basic policy guidelines. The coalition agreements
signed between the parties contain a statement of basic principles that define the focus of the new gov-
ernment. This includes:
• Israel will strive for peace with the Palestinians in order to reach a political settlement to end the

required by law, a referendum. The government will promote peace with neighboring countries while
preserving the security, history and national interests of Israel.
• The government will fight against violence and terrorism.
• While preserving the Jewish character of the state and the heritage of Israel, the government will re-
spect the religions and traditions of minorities in Israel in accordance with the values ​​in Israel’s Decla-
ration of Independence.
• Lower the price of housing and reduce the cost of living by various means including increasing free
market competition.
• Top priority to education and higher education.
• Spread the obligation of military or civilian national service, so that all population groups take part.
• Promote economic conditions for sustainable growth, lower cost of living and create and maintain
jobs.
• Strive for social justice by reducing social gaps and uncompromising struggle against poverty.
• Change the system of government in order to increase governance and government stability.

ments specify specific policies that were agreed upon as legislative goals for the new government’s term
of office.

The Parties and Their Leaders
Likud – Seen as nationalistic, Likud predominantly associated with the
center-right, and is supported by both blue and white collar, as well as
secular and traditional Jews.
Before becoming prime minister in 2009, Netanyahu, a graduate of MIT,
served as an army commander and was previously prime minister from
1996–99. He is known for his economic free-market policies and his 2009
Bar Ilan speech supporting the two-state solution.
Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) – Representing immigrants from the
former Soviet Union, the party serves as the country’s nationalist, secular
right-wing voice. The party supports a two-state solution, but wants to
give Arab populated areas of Israel in return for Jewish settlement blocks
in the West Bank. At the start of this election campaign, Yisrael Beiteinu
and Likud merged their lists of election candidates, but maintained sepa-
rate parties and policies.
Yesh Atid (There is a Future) –This new, secular center-left, party focuses
on the disenfranchised middle and working class and the separation of
religion and state. The party emerged as the biggest winner in the elec-
tions, gaining 19 seats in its first elections.
Political newcomer Yair Lapid is a popular former journalist and television
talk show host. The son of the late Yosef (Tommy) Lapid, whose (now de-
funct) Shinui Party was elected on an anti-religious platform.
Habayit Hayehudi (Jewish Home) – Originally known as the National
Religious Party, Habayit Hyehudi is one of Israel’s oldest political forces,
representing modern-orthodox Jews, with a focus on education, religious
values and the historic Land of Israel.
Behind the scenes, former hi-tech success and new party leader Naftali
Bennett acted as a broker in the negotiations that brought about the new
coalition.
Hatnuah (The Movement) – Formed last in this election campaign, Hat-
nuah is Israel’s newest centrist party. The party is headed by former Kad-
ima leader Tzipi Livni, who previously served as foreign minister in the
Ehud Olmert’s government. In 2012, Livni a strong supporter of the peace
process with the Palestinians, lost the Kadima leadership to Shaul Mofaz.

Meir Cohen was the mayor of Dimona for the Yisrael Beiteinu party.

tor with his appointment as President and CEO of Cellcom Israel Ltd.,
Israel’s largest wireless telephone service provider.
The Opposition
Labor – Labor is Israel’s major left-wing, socially-democratic party and is associated with the nation-
al trade union, Histadrut. Previously headed by both the late Yitzhak Rabin and current Israeli President
Shimon Peres, Labor is known for signing the Oslo Accords with Yasser Arafat and the P.L.O. Wracked by
internal dissent and splintering over the past decade, Labor has recently regained stability and some pop-
ularity after quitting Netanyahu’s coalition government in January 2011.
Party leader Shelly Yachimovich is a well-known former journalist and radio talk-show host and entered the
Knesset in 2006. Yachimovich is seen as returning Labor’s focus to social and economic issues rather than
solely on the peace process.
Kadima (Forward) – After breaking off from Likud, former prime minister Ariel Sharon formed the centrist
party in 2005 with members from both Likud and Labor. Following the 2009 elections, under former leader
Tzipi Livni, Kadima became the main opposition party. It is known for withdrawing all Israeli settlements
from Gaza in 2005.
Born in Iran, party leader Shaul Mofaz is a former IDF chief-of-staff and served as defense minister in the
Kadima government headed by Sharon. He became head of the party in March 2012 after defeating Tzipi
Livni, but the party was almost wiped out in the elections, maintaining only two seats.
Shas – Israel’s ultra-orthodox religious party affiliated with Middle-Eastern Sephardic Jewry, has consis-
tently been a coalition partner in both left- and right-wing governments. Shas’ major focus is support for
its religious educational institutions and laws affecting religious issues. They also receive support from
non-religious Sephardic Jews.
Shas takes its guidance from a council of rabbis headed by former chief rabbi Ovadia Yosef. The political
leadership is divided between popular former Shas parliamentary leader Arye Deri, current leader Eli Yishai
and Housing Minister Ariel Atias. Yishai is also a veteran politician who is viewed as the non-charismatic
leader of a party guided by religious precepts. He maintains interest in the national budget and funding
for its religious education network. All three leaders take their guidance from Yosef, but party leadership in
opposition is still unclear.

12. 11
Balad – Led by Jamal Zahalka, Balad was founded in 1995, and is a left-of-center, anti-Zionist party that
promotes Arab nationalism. With three seats in the current Knesset, Balad MK Hanin Zoabi came under
intense media attention after she joined activists on board the Mavi Marmara in 2009, illegally sailing to
Gaza. Subsequently, Israel’s Central Election Committee barred Zoabi from running in the 2013 elections.
The MK appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, which overturned the decision and reaffirmed her
candidacy for the Knesset. Balad ideology includes a demand to recognize Israel’s Arabs as a national mi-
nority and pushing for laws to ensure the implementation of collective rights of the Arab minority in Israel.
Hadash – Hadash is a politically and socially left-leaning secular Jewish-Arab party based on a just peace
with the Palestinians, workers rights and Arab rights. In the last elections Hadash received four seats and
was the leading political force representing the Arab population. Hadash fosters cooperation between
Jews and Arabs as well as promoting peace and equality, and the rights of women, minorities and work-
ers. Headed by Mohammad Barakeh, its party platform includes the establishment of a Palestinian state
with its capital in east Jerusalem, alongside the State of Israel.
Meretz – Meretz (“energy”) is a left-wing, Zionist party, promoting the expansion of the welfare state and
peace through a two-state solution via the withdrawal of Israel from the West Bank. Led by Zahava Gal-
On, Meretz was founded in 1992 as an alliance between three left wing parties Mapam, Ratz and Shinui.
Meretz policy says that in order to revive the peace process, Israel must de facto recognize a Palestinian
state and replace the Oslo Accords with a comprehensive new agreement as a basis for the relations be-
tween the two governments. The party also calls for a fundamental change in financial priorities to empha-
size social rights and the redistribution of the state’s resources
Ra’am-Ta’al – Ra’am (United Arab List) is headed by MK Ibrahim Sarsour and Ta’al (Arab Movement for
Renewal) is led by MK Ahmad Tibi. While Arabs comprise roughly 20 percent of the population in Isra-
el, they have never met their potential to garner one fifth of the seats in the 120-member Knesset, which
could theoretically make them the official opposition. The unification of Ra’am-Ta’al was one step in that
direction with the two parties fielding a joint list of candidates, while maintaining separate political agen-
das. The slate supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but has a long agenda of
local issues including fighting discrimination, investment in the Arab sector, increased use of Arabic lan-
guage and liberalization of the Islamic Waqf (religious trust) in Israel.
