الأحزاب و أثرها في رسم السياسة الإسرائيلية

Abstract EN

The most important characteristic that distinguishes the Israeli party system is party pluralism.

This reflects a variety of thoughts and programs dedicated for Israeli policy and affecting it.

The competition and conflict among Israeli political parties for reaching power becomes evident as the Knesset elections approach.

This leads to bloc or other political dissidence making new parties.

This happened when Ariel Sharon established Kadima Party in 2005 before the Knesset elections in 2006.

It is found that despite reaching power in 2005, the Likud had an impact on the Israeli policy through the thoughts and personality of Sharon, in addition to his stand regarding the permanent compromise project (Road Map), and not through the party programs.

Sharon presented the unilateral separation plan for withdrawing from the Israeli settlements in Gaza Strip.

This case was repeated when Kadima reached power in 2006 and when Ehud Olmert presented his special plan known as the (Assembly Plan) which included withdrawal from some of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank trying to affect the Israeli foreign policy through a temporary settlement for the Palestinian–Israeli conflict.
