Strongly agree
Increase
Likud, as a right-wing party, generally supports a strong military and defense system to protect Israel from external threats. Historically, they have advocated for increased military spending, such as during Benjamin Netanyahu's tenure as Prime Minister. However, the score is not a full 5 because there may be some within the party who prioritize other issues like the economy or social services.

Agree
Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Slightly agree
Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Strongly disagree
Decrease
Likud is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending due to their focus on national security and the ongoing conflicts in the region. Historically, they have not advocated for reducing military spending, and doing so would likely be seen as weakening Israel's defense capabilities.

Very strongly disagree
Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead
Likud would strongly disagree with this answer, as it suggests relying on a European military defense system instead of Israel's own military. This goes against the party's focus on national security and self-reliance, and would likely be seen as undermining Israel's sovereignty and ability to defend itself.
