History

Historical Context

In the May 1977 election, Menachem Begin’s Likud won 43 Knesset seats, ending Labor’s three-decade rule and forming a coalition with religious parties. That breakthrough gave hard-right groups a foothold, a pattern echoed today as Otzma Yehudit and Beyachad, led by Itamar Ben Gvir and Naftali Bennett, negotiate list placements to secure projected seats in the Knesset.
